Pennsylvania is home to breathtaking natural scenery ranging from majestic mountain ranges and deep verdant valleys to open rolling farmlands and deep blue lakes, much of which can be enjoyed in one of the region’s 121 state parks, 19 national parks, and seven National Heritage Areas. Many of the national parks are designated historical sites and feature a wealth of outdoor and recreational activities for the whole family to enjoy from hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding to canoeing, fishing, and swimming.
