Nature Inn at Bald Eagle

Nestled in the very center of the state and the southernmost point of the PA Wilds is the Nature Inn at Bald Eagle State Park. This new green building just achieved a Gold LEED rating from the U.S. Green Building Council. The Inn features natural surroundings and intrinsic green amenities. Birding is at prime at the Nature Inn, with a pair of bald eagles just across the lake. The Inn is also full of works by local artisans, from the stained glass in the lobby to the ceramic tiles integrated into the architecture. The Nature Inn is a PA Wilds treasure and a truly unique place to stay.
