Hey guys just got back from a weekend trip to NYC. While coming back through Pennsylvania, I took a brief side trip to drive by Knoebels Amusement Park. I got to tell you, this is one of the best looking traditional (And I Mean TRADITIONAL/Old School) park I have ever seen. Lots of room for parking, most of the park is in fact hidden in the woods (You can barely see the top of what I think was The Phoenix Rollercoaster. Not even totally sure lol) This park is a hidden gem and I look to visit in the future to this little gem. Lots of places for Picnics there as well and many Summer Cottages there too :)

That's just it. It is So well hidden that you can't get any good pictures unless you are inside of the park lol :)  I now see why there aren't really any pictures outside of this place :)

I sure will when I go there. I feel a calling to go there now lol

There is a Knobels parkway which is cute. It's a country road that goes right by the park. It comes a country driveway about a mile down the road.

There is a pretty cool billboard from the Elysburg side park entrance. But once again, you can't see anything from there either lol

I've heard nothing but good things about this park.

I hope to get out that way sometime in the near future as well.

This sounds like a place that we'll have to check out.  We've heard nothing but good things about it from several sources.
