The main attractions, though, are easy access to the gorgeous Juniata River, the beautiful dark night sky and the trains.

We can't recommend this place highly enough.

It's the only ice cream place in Williamsburg and they get a good many people from different areas (furthest I met lived in Ebensburg!) just for their tasty food! The owners are so down to earth and take their time with each and every customer. They don't rush you or look overwhelmed. They employ a good many high schoolers, personally I never had a problem with any of them they are just like the owners. A few years ago they put a car port with tables up which is nice! There's also another seating facing the river, a pravillion, and many other shady seating. The trail is right beside them it's my favorite part of Williamsburg. The river sound and shade can make you lose track of time peaceful and certain areas have beaches to picnic or swim. A hot summer day here will make the life stresses leave. With lower trail you'll never stop going it's worth it all.

You can park at the Alfarata Station in Alexandria or at the Water Street Flea Market, or at the Flowing Spring Station if you're coming from the other direction. There are four other stations along the way.

It is only a few minutes outside of town, has a huge parking lot, and a gravelled trail, making it very easy for older or feeble folks to enjoy some of beautiful Rothrock. The trail very slightly slopes uphill for the first part and isn't too difficult. After it crosses the powerlines, however, it gets quite steep so the less adventurous should turn back at that point!

It's popular with bears who like the wild blueberries that grow here and with birders.

You can see the milky way on any clear night.

The couch was a little on the shorter side so it was slightly difficult to get comfortable on the couch. The bed was pretty low to the ground and it was tough to get in and out of and both my boyfriend and I had trouble sleeping because of it. There were bugs across the floor of the cabin near the windows in the living room. There was no broom and dustpan anywhere that we could find to clean it up. If we come back I think we'll most likely stay at the Tiny Homes. They were much cleaner and the bed was a lot more comfortable.

It has all the…read moreconvenience of fairly modern restrooms with the charm of well developed yet semi rustic picnic areas. From the relaxing sounds and breeze from Honey Creek, which runs through the park, to the well constructed wooden bridges that line some of the trails, it is a fun trip for the family. There are camping areas for those that wish to stay the night. Bring the tent, though, as there aren't any cabins and I am unsure if they have camper access at this point. They do have fire rings and grills throughout the park. The real appeal, for me, are the trails. They have a number of them. One that travels along Honey Creek and borders a deer rescue/preserve maintained by a private owner. I once traveled far down the trail, near the deer preserve, only to be surprised by an entire herd of deer wondering near where I was on the other side of the owners fence. It was an experience I will never forget. The park, itself, can be busy in the Summer months. Family reunions are often held, here as is the occasional work picnic. The one negative is that the old swimming pool, which was free to use for the public, has been long closed and torn out. There is little sign of it other than the old refreshment stand and changing house. So, get out in the woods. Pick a trail A few go up into the nearby mountain. There is always a friendly face and decent conversation in the park. Just make sure to bring the bug spray and a jacket in the Spring and Fall. In the Summer, get ready to sweat on those walks. As always, enjoy!

I came all the way from Texas to visit Wildfire Ranch Spiritual Retreat and my stay was exactly…read morewhat I needed. I thoroughly read all the info on the website and even spoke with the owner, prior to booking so that I knew what to expect. I booked the 6 day, 5 night Heartland Week-Long Retreat and I selected the following activities: equine therapy sessions, riding lessons, an all about horses clinic and a trail ride. Even with all these activities, I had plenty of time to venture out on my own and explore near by attractions. I stayed in the Whispering Winds Guest room which included my own private bathroom and views of the horses & the barn. Both Cynthia, the owner, and Andrew, the ranch hand, were very kind, knowledgeable and helpful throughout my stay. It is very evident that they both have a great passion for ALL the horses on the ranch. The scenery and the atmosphere with the horses is absolutely breathtaking. Keep in mind, this is a ranch stay, so if you're expecting 5 star hotel accommodations, then go stay at a hotel but if you're looking for peace from the busy city life and the beauty of nature, then this will fit those needs. There's a lot of work that goes into maintaining a ranch and for the caring of horses, so I appreciate everything both Cynthia & Andrew do here @ Wildfire Ranch. Keep up the good work and I hope to visit again!
