“Do 6” – Top 6 Places to See the Best Fall Foliage Along Route 6:

1. The PA Grand Canyon – Officially named Pine Creek Gorge, Pennsylvania’s “Grand Canyon” provides arguably the most impressive views of autumn leaves in PA. Visit the state parks on each side of the 47-mile-long gorge, Leonard Harrison State Park and Colton Point State Park, for impressive overlooks and trails down into the canyon.

1. The Marie Antionette Lookout – Visit this overlook in Bradford County for an expansive view of the autumn leaves surrounding the Susquehanna River and the former location of historic French Azilum, a French refugee settlement of the late 1700s believed to be intended as a safe haven for Marie Antoinette.
2. The Oil Heritage Region – Visit the birthplace of the oil industry, the Oil Heritage Region in Crawford County, to experience Pennsylvania’s fall foliage by train! Take the Oil Creek and Titusville Railroad through Oil Creek State Park to see colorful leaves and maybe some antique oil equipment, too.
3. Kinzua Sky Walk – Once the longest and tallest bridge in the world, the restored remains of the tornado-ravaged Kinzua Bridge offer the perfect 225-foot high perch for truly awe-inspiring autumn views of the valley below.

1. Presque Isle on Lake Erie – Experience Lake Erie in autumn (when there are fewer visitors) while hiking the fall foliage lined trails of the 3200-acre peninsula state park, Presque Isle.
2. The Stourbridge Line – Board one of The Stourbridge Line‘s vintage railroad coaches for an autumn excursion along the Lackawaxen River. Commence your trip with a hike up Irving Cliff for a spectacular view of the Heritage Community of Honesdale amidst the foliage-filled Pocono Mountains.
