Pine Creek Rail Trail
A 63 mile rail trail going through the heart of Pine Creek Gorge aka the PA Grand Canyon. Excellent for walking and biking. Starts at Tioga Junction, Wellsboro, south to Jersey Shore, PA. Pine Creek Outfitters offers shuttle services at various access points if you only want to explore one way. Voted one of the top ten trails in the world!
The best thing to do on a rainy day, or any day really. A two hour covered wagon tour into the heart of the PA Grand Canyon, aka: Pine Creek Gorge. Can't hike or bike? No worries, the horses will get you there and back.

A beautiful hike around the falls, but the best thing is that you can actually swim right into and under the waterfall letting the water cascades all over you. Just be forewarned....the water is cold, so do the hike first.

A quaint little town with a few stores, but the biggest attraction is in the Fall. There are several really nice Orchards for U-Pick apples in season. Gardiner's comes to mind with weekend horse drawn wagon rides to and from the trees.
