From Williamsport Regional Airport in Williamsport, you are never far from the action, with river towns, mountain gorges, and the home of Little League baseball all close by. Williamsport grew rich on lumber in the 1800s, and the mansions of Millionaires' Row still line West Fourth Street as proof. Today it is a relaxed Susquehanna River city with a lively downtown, a minor league ballpark, and the Pennsylvania Wilds rising just to the north.

Williamsport is the jumping-off point for a lot of north-central Pennsylvania. Lewisburg and the Bucknell campus are about 40 minutes south, the Victorian lake resort of Eagles Mere is 45 minutes east, and Wellsboro and the Pine Creek Gorge overlooks are a little over an hour north. Ricketts Glen State Park, with more than 20 waterfalls on one loop trail, is an hour away. Try a plate of pierogies or a hot sausage sandwich at a local diner, and come in August when the whole town turns out for the Little League World Series.
