we live in southern Pa and want to take a trip to niagra falls. Does anyone have a suggestion on a senic route? We have the entire week off and just want to head north.

 

Where in southern PA? I know some cool stuff to stop to see & do on the way up. I could help you with a nice route & places to stay, if I knew from where you're starting.

 

Head up through State College and stay to the two lanes. You'll find some great scenery along the way. The whole area is one big winter ski resort.

 

Finger lakes in NY is huge wine country many opportunities to sample the fruit of the vine. Lots of Bed & Breakfasts. Suggest you bring a passport as the Cnadian side has much to be appreciated and a totally different perspective. There is also casinos in the area (both sides) if you are of a mind to gamble.

 

Hi, my name is Chris and a buddy of mine and me are going to leave Columbus, OH on Thursday and head to the Finger Lakes Region. We plan on returning home on Sunday.

Can anyone share with me some good rides to take in the region? I am not really going for the wine tasting or education as much as I am going to just ride the bike.

Weather appears to look optimal for these 4 days and I want to take advantage of the time by riding the Harley and exploring the country side.

Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

And yes, our original plan was to be Sturgis but had to postpone until next year.

Thanks for your support and advice.

Don't stay on the canadian side, we went up 6 years ago, 35% tax added on top of regular taxes added to your bill.. Cost $ 96.00 to eat at a Denny's!!! They charged us for parking at the hotel( holiday inn) we stayed at!!! $8.00 A DAY!!! We found out the 35% tax was for advertising Niagra Falls vacations, because tourism has dropped over the years, they needed money to advertise so they whack you for it!!! Either stay in U.S. and go over each day to see stuff, or go into Canada farther north to get away from tourism taxes!! Lasy nite there we went north about 20 miles for dinner and it was reasonable.. GOOD LUCK!!! Mark

 

Hi, we live in the hanover area. Thanks for your help

 

I think you will need passports to go into Canada, and come back into the USA.

 

My brother lives down near you, in Jarrettsville MD. I like 34 up to Carlisle, and then 74 over the hill out of Carlisle, up to a couple miles of 75, to 322. Take 322 to State College & make sure you stop at # 1 Harley up near State College. Cool place. From there, do a Mapquest over to Dubois & then up 255 to 555 up through Benezette to see if you can see some elk. Then go over to 219 & take it all the way up to Buffalo & the falls.

 

Don't forget to take the foot trail to the bottem of the gorge in Whirlpool St Park..
Short hike down but it gives you an awesome view and feel of the power of the Niagara river
