PA is full of town parks. Centre County has some of the best in the state…read more Tudek is no exception to that. It has just about everything you would want in a rural park. There is a modern playground. There are athletic courts and fields. There is a really nice walking trail. There are several things that set this one apart, though. It has a dog park, for one. This is something uncommon in this part of the state. The other unique feature is a butterfly garden. It is quite beautiful and scientifically correct for the species of butterfly and bees in this part of the state. There is even a yearly educational program called Wings in the Park which was going on the day we got there. The program had activity stations set up with educational "questions" to help the young and old, alike, learn about the butterfly. There was even a station about bees. This program had information on new methods for growing perennials that are friendly to the butterfly. They had information on conservation efforts in effect in order to save the rapidly disappearing Monarch butterfly. Back to the park itself. The main trail winds through some fields. One of which appears to be a horse pasture. It is really odd, too. You would think with the developments nearby, that you would feel like you were in the middle of a residential area. You don't feel that way. It feels completely rural and relaxing. I imagine this would be a great place to go for a jog. The main trail is paved. But there are little grass covered trails and reflection spots throughout the butterfly garden. So with all this, I can really highly recommend this park. One of the top ones I have been to in along time. I mean... butterfly garden? Yep, with sunflowers, semi exotic looking native birds, and natural beauty, this would be a great place to visit daily.

It's honestly kind of perplexing that I'd never been to Little Buffalo State Park before. I live…read moreonly about 25 minutes away, have spent years exploring Central PA, and somehow this one had completely escaped me. I decided it was time to fix that! On a rainy late-June Sunday morning, I headed to Little Buffalo with a 5.5-mile hiking route I'd found on social media and figured if I was going to get wet anyway, I might as well do it surrounded by nature. One thing that immediately stood out was how much there is to do here. Little Buffalo State Park offers hiking trails, boating, fishing, kayaking, picnic areas, a large swimming pool during the summer, playgrounds, and the beautifully restored Shoaff's Mill, making it a destination that's just as appealing for families as it is for folks looking to spend some time outdoors. It's one of those parks where you could easily spend an entire day exploring. Parking was plentiful throughout the park, and everything I saw was clean, well maintained and easy to navigate. Despite the rainy weather, there were still plenty of people out enjoying the park, which tells you something about how loved this place is. The highlight of my visit was definitely the Middle Ridge Trail. Marked as "Most Difficult," this 2.5-mile section delivered exactly what I was hoping for. The climbs were steep enough to get my heart pumping, and as the rain continued, the trail became even more challenging in all the right ways. I absolutely loved it! It was the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning unplugging from everything else and simply enjoying the woods. By the end of my hike, I was muddy, damp and grinning. My kind of morning! I didn't have time to explore everything Little Buffalo has to offer on this visit, but I definitely noticed the swimming pool while I was there, and that's already on my list for a future adventure. Little Buffalo State Park has officially earned a spot in my regular outdoor adventure rotation. It's close to home, beautifully maintained, offers something for just about everyone, and if you're looking for a hike that will get your legs working, don't skip the Middle Ridge Trail. I'll definitely be back!

The white and blue trails are marked with signs noting stations, distance, and steepness (topography maps show lines close together for steep areas and farther away for more flat) I stuck to the white trail for the energy I had in me that day, but like that you could go in and out of each to see overlooks or get more exercise depending on what you want. Very 'choose your own adventure'! The beginning part is a big steep, but not long or unbearable. Overall great place!

Take white on your first time. You can also do a loop and take both. The view is great, and the trail is well looked after. Signage is marked and trail is easy to follow. There are a few fallen trees, but nothing that makes it uncrossable. Recommend bug spray, water, and great shoes.
