Exploring Caledonia State Park in Pennsylvania (Video)
Caledonia State Park and Long Pine Run Reservoir
A Pit-Stop After A Client Meeting
Tashia and I love exploring Pennsylvania, and we are on a mission to experience every state park in Pennsylvania. One of those is Caledonia State Park which is located in two counties, Adams and Franklin, about midway between Gettysburg and Chambersburg. This park is super easy to get to because it’s entrance is along Route 30.
We were returning from a visit to our awesome client Lester Long Horsemanship when stopped to end the waterfall, bridge, and endless rhododendron. Our favorite part of this park was Long Pine Run Reservoir which is a beautiful calm lake set in the South Mountains in Michaux State Forest. We can’t wait to return to this lovely, peaceful place soon! Below is a short video of our experience. We also made a new home for these types of videos on our updated blog page.

Hi Nelson
I am traveling with my family to from Boston to Philadelphia the next two weeks beginning this Sunday. This place looks so nice. But I think it is a bit too far from Philadelphia where we will be staying for a couple of nights. Is there somewhere near Philadelphia that you just have to recommend?
Cheers,
Rikke
Hi Rikke,
Yes, this would be around 3 hours from Philadelphia. I would recommend going to some places near Hickory Run State Park. There is a phenomenon called Boulder Field there, as well as a short hike to a waterfall called Hawk Falls. Also, the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is a great place with multiple 100-foot waterfalls. I don’t have much experience any closer to Philadelphia, but I’m sure there are some nice places closer as well. Let us know what you decide to do!
Thank you so much for your recommendations! I will add them to our OneNote and revisit them when we approach Pennsylvania. I hope that I will remember to report our experiences 🙂
Have a great summer!
You are welcome! Have fun! If you have never been to the state then Rickett’s Glen is the best place to visit — 22 waterfalls in a beautiful 3 mile walk. It was supposed to be a National Park, but then WWII started and it was forgotten.
