Make it a Weekend
On the morning of your first day, make your way to Penn’s Cave and Wildlife Park and tour by boat America’s only all–water cavern. As you glide on an underground stream, you will be surrounded by limestone corridors, stalagmites, stalactites, flowstone cascades, and ice draperies. Below you, trout swim and jump for food.
Penn’s Cave is surrounded by a 1,600 acre wildlife park. Motorized 90-minute tours take you through forests and fields that have been carefully preserved as a natural habitat for bears, wolves, elk, deer, bobcats, bison, longhorn cattle, mustangs, and mountain lions. Click here for to watch videos and a first-hand view of all the fun stuff in store at Penns Cave, including their new 2-1/2 hour jeep tour from the “cave rock to the mountain top,” negotiating obstacles, moguls, and ravines on the way to a spectacular mountain vista.
Nearby is Woodward Cave, one of the largest caves in Pennsylvania with five spacious rooms that include the 200-foot-long “Hall of Statues.” The Ballroom has actually been used for square dances and banquets. One stalagmite, called the Tower of Babel, is 14 feet high. The cathedral ceiling of the Upper Room rises 60 feet above the floor.
On your way back from the caves, grab lunch in Lewisburg or Mifflinburg before heading to Williamsport for a river excursion on the paddlewheeler Hiawatha, which is anchored near Susquehanna State Park. As you cruise, the Captain brings to life the lumbering era in Pennsylvania and its connection to the river.
After a very full day, return to Lewisburg for dinner and a good night’s sleep. Rest up! Tomorrow, you’re off to play at one of Pennsylvania’s most famous amusement resorts.
