State College, Pennsylvania is known for being home to The Pennsylvania State University, but it’s also a runners oasis. There are 100s if not 1000s of available scenic routes for any runner to enjoy.

 

 

An excellent choice for scenic running is Millbrook Marsh Nature Center. With free parking available at the trail head, this is a great option for running close to downtown. The trails start off as boardwalk trails and continue onto a concrete trail that runs throughout the city of State College.

 

The Millbrook Marsh Nature Center is a great place to explore on its own. It’s excellent for a family day out and is very kid friendly.  Millbrook Marsh Nature Center can be found by using the following address in Google Maps or the iPhone Maps App.
