Enjoy the Ride

Life in the Slow Lane

Take your time traveling along the meandering curves of the Longhouse Scenic Byway, through the Allegheny National Forest. This road is used as an access point for many recreational activities in the ANF, including camping, fishing, boating and hiking, but it stands on it's own as a distinctively peaceful road-trip journey. Follow the speed limit for safety - but also to give you time to soak up the surrounding forested landscape!
