Living in Pennsylvania means we have the best of all worlds – big cities, small towns, cozy villages, and nature all around us. Take this wildflower trail in Newtown, Pennsylvania, nestled in a beautiful state park. As you meander along this picturesque path, you’ll likely feel a million miles away from it all. In reality, you’ll be just 33 miles from the excitement of Center City, Philadelphia. Enjoy a relaxing hike then head to Philly for a bit of big-city thrills.
When you're craving the quiet of nature, make your way to Tyler State Park, which boasts 1,711 acres of sheer natural beauty - from wildflowers to a waterfall.
This tranquil Pennsylvania state park is just as popular with horseback riders as it is with hikers.
One of the best ways to explore this pretty park is on one of its scenic hiking trails. Consider starting with the 7.3-mile Tyler State Park Trail, especially if it's your first visit to the park.
One of the highlights of this winding trail is the wildflowers that add an extra pop of color to the landscape. The trail is predominately paved, although you'll face quite a few hills.
