In addition to hiking, camping, biking, stargazing and other adventurous excursions, there are fall festivals, outdoor concerts as well as destinations for apple cider, honey, maple products and other delectable fall confectionaries.

Despite ongoing COVID-19 concerns, Visit Potter-Tioga has been diligent in ensuring safety throughout both Counties.

"We're extremely cognizant of health guidelines, and have gone above and beyond to address protocols across the region to make sure those looking forward to upcoming fall visits can do so with peace of mind," explained Hanson. "Outdoor attractions including state parks, lakes and trails are the recommended places to enjoy travel during this time. Afterall, it's easier to stay 6 ft. apart while outside exploring hundreds of thousands of acres."
