The scenic Cumberland Valley is nestled amongst mountains and waterways in South Central Pennsylvania.

Looking for a little excitement? There’s the country’s largest motorcycle, car and truck events at the Carlisle Fairgrounds, historical reenactments along the Civil War Trails and kayaking in the Conodoguinet Creek. Or do you just want to indulge? Dine dockside at a waterfront restaurant. Explore our quaint historic downtowns and walkable shopping districts with boutiques, pastry shops, galleries, restaurants, coffeehouses and old-fashioned theaters. Relax and re-energize along the banks of the famous Children’s Lake, a seven-acre lake with perfectly clear water that literally bubbles. Weeping willows, colorful gardens, Victorian homes, an old stone mill and ruins of an iron furnace decorate the water’s edge. Take a hike along the Appalachian Trail, go fly-fishing in the world-renowned Yellow Breeches Creek, or enjoy dinner and a show at Allenberry Resort Inn and Playhouse, a full-service resort the whole family can enjoy. In a group, with a friend or solo, a vacation here is one you’ll savor forever!
