Ridgway, located on the southeastern edge of Allegheny National - TopicsExpress



          

Ridgway, located on the southeastern edge of Allegheny National Forest, provides easy access to outdoor adventure. Canoe the Clarion River, ride horseback from the Kelly Pines campground (with tie-down stalls for equestrian campers) or bike/hike the 18-mile Clarion-Little Toby Rail Trail. Drive 45 minutes eastward to the Elk Country Visitor Center, where trails lead to elk-watching spots. Elk were reintroduced to Pennsylvania from the western U.S. in 1913 after the state’s native population was wiped out; now, conservation has yielded a healthy herd. The adjacent Elk Mountain Homestead farmhouse sleeps 10 and can be rented for vacation and overnight stays. Back in Ridgway, you can watch hunks of wood become fine art right before your eyes every February at the annual Chainsaw Carvers Rendezvous. After the sawdust flies, come in from the cold and eat like a woodsman at Lumberjacks Steak and Seafood. pittsburghmagazine/Pittsburgh-Magazine/April-2012/52-Great-Weekend-Getaways-from-Pittsburgh/index.php?cparticle=5&siarticle=4#artanc
