Tioga County is home to Pine Creek Gorge otherwise known as Pennsylvania’s Grand Canyon. Surrounded by 165,000 acres of the state forest, the Gorge is a truly pristine area to visit. Outdoor activities abound - horseback riding, canoeing, rafting, hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, fishing, hunting, and even a covered wagon ride and excursion train!

Cyclists love the Pine Creek Rail Trail voted one of the “10 great places to take a bike tour” by USA Today. This 60 plus-mile long trail with a 2% grade over its entire length travels through the Gorge. The trail is a hard-packed gravel surface available to hikers and bikers with a section just for the equestrians.

Tioga County is also home to seven lakes for fishing, swimming, and water sports. Along with beautiful landscape you can enjoy festivals and arts, scenic driving tours, unique shopping, and dining.

Tioga County has lodging to meet your wants and needs, but it’s a good idea to make reservations before visiting since availability may be limited during popular visiting times such as fall foliage season.
