Hiking is probably the best way to get out there and really get to know Pennsylvania. Did you know there are more than 12,000 miles of trails in Pennsylvania? That's a lot of space to explore, so it's safe to assume that we inadvertently overlook some really beautiful places. But we can easily rectify that by creating a hiking bucket list. Add this trail to the French Creek State Park waterfall to the top of your list. It is bursting with scenic beauty, but the highlight may well be a gorgeous waterfall.

A trek along Saint Pete's Trail, a 2.2-mile trail that winds through French Creek State Park, promises plenty of surprises along the way. Keep an eye out and carry a camera.

After your hike, consider exploring more of this 7,730-acre state park. Swimming, picnicking, and boating are some of the popular warm-weather activities.

If you're a fan of waterfalls in Pennsylvania, you'll find some downright gorgeous ones at French Creek State Park.

The main waterfall, however, is a showstopper. It provides an ideal opportunity to sit back for a minute, relax, and snap photos as the water tumbles down into a crystal-clear pool.

With so many PA waterfall hikes, it's easy to overlook a few. Make sure you add this waterfall hike to your bucket list.

The natural beauty draws visitors to the trail, so expect to run into other adventurers, including horseback riders. You can even bring your pup along, but keep him leashed.

Unfortunately, you'll pass some graffiti on the rocks, which garners quite a few complaints from visitors.

You never know what you'll pass on Saint Pete's Trail, but expect some rocky terrain and creek crossings. Shoes you don't mind getting wet or a bit dirty are a must.

There are even a few boulders along the path that are popular for climbing. If you plan on climbing, wear the appropriate foot gear.

Often compared to a walk through the woods, Saint Pete's Trail really deserves a visit in each season. Dip your feet in the cool creek water during the spring and summer.

Remember to wear and bring bug spray in the warmer months.
