Grab the family and head west. Birthplace of Little League baseball, Lycoming County is as All-American as you can get!

Cradled by the Appalachian Mountains and bisected by the West Branch of the Susquehanna River, Lycoming's natural beauty is only enhanced by its twin legacies of Little League and lumber—as any stopover in the town of Williamsport will make clear. One of the largest commercial centers in the East during the mid-19th century lumber boom, Williamsport remains a vibrant commercial and cultural hub, and it has also done an exceptional job of preserving its 19th- and 20th-century heritage for present-day visitors.

It's easy to spend a day strolling Williamsport's historic downtown and its side streets lined with classic architectural styles—and that's even before you start to explore what else Lycoming has to offer. Known as the gateway to the "Pennsylvania Wilds" region of the state, Lycoming opens onto some 200,000 acres of the Tiadaghton State Forest and includes within its borders a good chunk of the Pine Creek Rail Trail, the latter ranked as one of the top trails in the world by USA Today. So whether you're most comfortable hiking, biking, canoeing, or simply ambling down a picturesque side street on your way to a historic site, something in this area is going to call to you!
