Get Away this Winter to the Nature Inn at Bald Eagle

– by Thomas Range II

December is a GREAT month to stay at the Nature Inn at Bald Eagle for many reasons. The popular winter snowshoe and cross-country ski equipment loaner program, evenings in the Great Room around the cozy fireplace, the winter birding opportunities, and the delicious dinners offered at the inn so that you don't have to venture out! If you are looking for some extra fun, bring your sleds or toboggans and check out the awesome sledding hill in the park.

Birds and Brew

Can't make it in December? How about making it a weekend on Jan 10-12th, 2025 for Birds and Brew? It will be an exciting winter package full of birds, brew, and everything local!

On Friday evening, guests will kick off their stay with a delicious dinner at the Nature Inn. After dinner, there will be a tasting event with local spirits. Once everyone tries a few samples and picks out a favorite, guests will learn the art of wildlife painting during an instructed paint class.

Following a hearty breakfast Saturday morning, a Winter Bird Walk will take you along the trails of Bald Eagle State Park and introduce you to common winter bird species and the tools birders use to identify them. To warm up, lunch will feature another tasting event from a local brewery.

Then, the Inn will spice up the afternoon with a short road trip to historic Bellefonte, where guests will receive a private tour of the nation’s first “green” distillery at Big Spring Spirits. Following the tour, dinner will await within the comfort of the Nature Inn.

To round out your stay, wake up early and join the park naturalist for a Sunday Morning Birding Tour and explore the park one last time before checking out and concluding the weekend.
