Anna from StuckOnTheGo.com recently visited for a #hosted trip to Happy Valley, Pennsylvania. Anna was kind enough to share her first impressions of her trip with Dispatch.HappyValley.com. Read on!

There was a time, and not long ago, that a trip to State College/Happy Valley in early June would involve golf, golf, and more golf. Rounds at Penn State’s Blue and White courses, followed certainly by a trip out to Toftrees Golf Resort for another 18, and maybe some time on the practice range in between, which was always necessary to grind my game down to a solid 6 handicap.

New Mover Welcome Pack offers fun and treats with no strings attached!

Starting in July, people moving into Centre County will be welcomed to the area Happy Valley-style compliments of Penn State Health Medical Group. They’ll be receiving a New Mover Welcome Kit, which features a white board-style magnet To Do List and a gift card for two free cones at Penn State Berkey Creamery. Not only that, but each recipient has a chance to win a grand prize Adventure Pack filled with experiences, tastes and activities that promise to be the start of a great Happy Valley experience.

Outdoor opportunities are endless in the heart of central Pennsylvania. Hiking, biking, boating and more, there is an outdoor adventure around every corner.

ADVENTURE changes by person and moment by moment. Adventure can mean shopping, sports events, dining, attending a great conference, a great stay at a hotel or B&B, seeing a thrilling performance on stage or time by the campfire relaxing along the trail. ADVENTURE is personal. ADVENTURE happens in #HappyValleyPA.

State College, Pennsylvania, may be best known as a college town, but that’s not the only reason that people decide to spend time there. Located in central Pennsylvania and surrounded by protected forest, State College is filled with outdoor experiences to enjoy that have nothing to do with a football field. Locals have long known what more and more people are discovering—that State College is a great place to spend time outside. Here are some of their favorite spots to explore.
