The Original
The Original Italian Pizza and Restaurant in Mifflinburg offers pizza, pasta and salads that are better than you would expect in Central Pennsylvania.
Chilly Willy’s
A roadside ice cream shop that’s added a back dining room, Chilly Willy’s offers great soft service ice cream and sundaes year-round, and daily lunch and dinner specials.
Union County Sportsman’s Club
It’s open five days a week for lunch and dinner. Technically, a membership club, anyone can eat there. To drink, you need to be a member, which is no more expensive or complicated than going to the bar and asking the bartender to join.
Amish Hay Market
It happens every Friday morning in Rebersburg, PA, a small hamlet just a few miles outside of Millheim.
Lewisburg Farmers Market
About a half-hour car ride from Oakwood on Penns Creek, the Lewisburg Farmers Market offers all sorts of fresh vegetables, fruits, poultry and meats.
Green Ridge Country Store
Another place for Amish spotting, Green Ridge is located just outside of Mifflinburg.
Chimney Rock
An outcrop of stone that towers above Penns Creek overlooking the tiny hamlet of Weikert, Chimney Rock sits at the end of two-mile hike past a beautiful babbling brook and short incline. It’s one of the best viewpoints of the creek.
Camp Karoondinha
It literally opens to a storybook perfect Boy Scout Camp with well-marked trails and beautiful scenery right out the front door.
Penns Creek Path
No trip to Penns Creek would be complete with a visit to Penns Creek Path. This is the Penns Creek spur of the Mid-State Trail, and it’s simply stunning. Paralleling Penns Creek on an old railroad bed of the Lewisburg and Tyrone Railroad, the trail is beautifully maintained and open for year-round enjoyment.
Tall Timbers
Want to witness the original forests of Penns Creek? Back before the state was clear cut for lumber in the late 1800s and early 1900s? Then hike Tall Timbers from Snyder Middleswarth State Park, about six miles from the cabin. It’s home to one of the last strands of old-growth trees in Pennsylvania
