October just might be one of the most perfect months of the year. Between the fall festivals, haunted attractions, and sensational fall foliage, we could probably find something to do to fill each day of the month. One of the prettiest destinations, especially at this time of the year, is Raystown Lake in Pennsylvania, which you can view from above or as you’re cruising down the water.
Nestled in Huntingdon County, picturesque Raystown Lake, surrounded by towering trees, spans a spectacular 8,400 acres.

Pack your hiking boots or bring your bike along for your lake visit, too, if you’re up for spending a little time on the Allegrippis Trails.
