Fall Events & Things to Do

Our trails weren’t originally built for recreation; they were built for survival, trade, and the expansion of our early country.

  • The Forbes Road: Hike or bike sections of the original 1758 military trail that cut through the wilderness.
  • The H&BT Rail Trail: Follow the ghost of the Huntingdon & Broad Top Mountain Railroad along the river.
  • River Navigation: Kayak the Raystown Branch of the Juniata, the same waterway used by native inhabitants and early settlers for centuries.
