Little Buffalo State Park ~ Shoaff's Mill Tours

Certain places just attract people. The cool, clear water of Little Buffalo Creek has been attracting folks for centuries. American Indians frequented Little Buffalo Creek on hunting trips. Farmers and merchants used to gossip and pass news while the grain was ground at Shoaff’s Mill.
Today, thousands of people meet at Little Buffalo State Park to picnic, swim, fish, hike and experience nature and history.
Shoaff's Mill is an 1840's era Grist Mill that operates from May to October on weekends from 1-3pm. See a 32 ft steel waterwheel turn just as it has for over 100 years. The Mill was originally built around 1837 by the owners of the Juniata Furnace, and in 1866, after the Furnace closed, the Mill was sold to William Shoaff. The Shoaff family owned and operated the mill for 100 years, grinding corn, wheat, and animal feeds, as well as producing apple cider and black walnut products. Shoaff's Mill was renovated in the 1970s, turning it into a working museum. Little Buffalo State Park and Shoaff's Mill are one of the many places you can visit when lodging in Central Pennsylvania at The Bridgeview Bed & Breakfast.

Flinchy's Restaurant, Camp Hill PA

One of the many great things to do in Central PA is EAT!!!! Locals rave about Flinchy's, "Home of the Hot Rock"! Flinchy's is really four venues in one!! Outside is a "Train Wreck Deck" with a 360 bar, inside is a New York style bar and dining room. Wednesday-Saturday, the walls retract into a club scene with live music. Their Hot Rock experience is definitely a unique way to dine. Meals are served with a 500-degree volcanic stone, so you cook your steak and seafood at the table, to your liking. They are also known for their chili, a winner of local cook offs year after year. The Train Wreck Deck is appropriately named, as railfans can watch trains on the Lurgen branch as they enjoy their meals.
Another unique place in Central PA is The Bridgeview Bed & Breakfast. We are located on the banks of the Susquehanna River overlooking northern Harrisburg, the Blue Mountains and the famous Rockville Bridge. At the Bridgeview you are guaranteed a clean, comfortable room with a private bath, WiFi, individual A/C, and a delicious breakfast to start your day off right!
