Big cities, like Philly and Pittsburgh, offer fast-paced, action-packed getaways where there never seems to be enough time in the day. However, sometimes we crave peace and quiet, away from the crowds. Nestled in the Endless Mountains, this tiny village in Pennsylvania promises a relaxing getaway where we can explore at our own pace.
Look for the wooden roadside sign signaling you've arrived in Eagles Mere, a tiny village that's an idyllic destination for a day or a weekend getaway.
Home to just 115 full-time residents, Eagles Mere gets busier during the summer, with some 3,000 seasonal residents returning to the cozy, quiet village.
Kick off your visit at the Visitor Information Center. Tucked in the Eagles Mere Museum, the center offers dozens of brochures to make planning your visit easier.
If you like spending time outdoors, consider applying for a temporary membership to the Eagles Mere Lake Association. Temporary membership allows you to enjoy the sandy beach and cool water of Eagles Mere Lake.
Eagles Mere is also the perfect launching point for exploring nearby, including Worlds End State Park (10 minutes away) and Ricketts Glen State Park (30 minutes away).
