VIEWS: Wondering where to see fall foliage?
The online news source The Keystone told readers that Kinzua Bridge State Park has the most “Instagrammable fall foliage.” An article by Lena Pothier said there’s no need to travel to New England states to see the beauty of autumn.
“McKean County’s Kinzua Bridge State Park is one of the best spots to see Pennsylvania’s fall foliage,” the article stated. We agree. The bridge isn’t the only local place that made the list. Bucktail Overlook in Driftwood — nicknamed “the top of the world — and U.S. Route 6 in this region were also named.
Also making the list: Bowman’s Hill Tower in New Hope, located at Washington Crossing Historical Park in Bucks County. Camelback Mountain in Tannersville in Big Pocono State Park, the highest peak in the Poconos, where you can see Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York from its summit.
Pine Creek Gorge, also known as the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon in Wellsboro. Ricketts Glen State Park, spanning Luzerne, Sullivan and Columbia counties, has more than 12,000 acres to take in fall foliage. “The park is home to more than two dozen waterfalls; viewing them against a backdrop of towering yellow and orange trees looks like something straight out of a fairytale. The most Insta-friendly draw there is the 94-foot–tall Ganoga Falls — watching the water cascade down the rocks in the forest is truly gorgeous.”

The Laurel Highlands in Fayette/Somerset/Westmoreland counties. “Ranked by USA Today as one of the best spots for fall foliage in 2022, the Laurel Highlands is undoubtedly one of the most premier spots to see the autumn colors in the state.”
