Fall

Fall is time for Happy Valley’s signature fifth season: football season. Nittany Lions fans countdown the days to football Saturdays all year round. When it's game day, (or even better, Homecoming) the energy is contagious! Tailgate with friends, visit the Penn State All Sports Museum and cheer on the Nittany Lions at game time. Stay in town for great food and fun in Downtown State College all weekend long!

The Great Outdoors

Because Happy Valley is surrounded by mountains and 750,000 acres of wooded public land, the fall foliage is breathtaking. Be sure to check out the iconic Mount Nittany, or spend the weekend hiking the Mid State Trail through Rothrock State Forest, camping at Bald Eagle State Park and kayaking at Black Moshannon Lake.
