Escaping from the stress and busyness of everyday life is downright easy, no matter where we live in the state. And we have so many ways to escape – on leisurely hikes, meandering drives, and to this lake in Pennsylvania. A hidden gem of the state park system, Kettle Creek Reservoir provides the perfect opportunity to spend some quiet time outdoors.

Tucked in the most remote town in Pennsylvania, Kettle Creek State Park in Renovo earns glowing reviews for its natural beauty, remoteness, and breathtaking views.

You won’t find a better place than the lakefront for a leisurely picnic, either. Keep an eye out for one that has a charcoal grill and a water hydrant, if you feel like grilling.

When the snow tumbles down in the winter, the park still offers a ton of fun. Go sledding, cross-country skiing, or snowmobiling.

All that peace and quiet can be quite addictive. If you’ve got the time, pitch a tent or park your RV for the night.
