Fishing & Hunting
Map all locationsWith plenty of game lands, Philadelphia and The Countryside offer some of the best hunting and fishing in the state. The open forests of the Pennsylvania Highlands offer the acres of wilderness that outdoorsmen crave, while the well-stocked waters of the region’s lakes, rivers, creeks and streams host an active community of anglers, both recreational and competitive.
Featured Attraction
Fairmount Park
One of the world’s largest city park systems
With more than 9,200 acres of rolling hills, gentle trails, relaxing waterfront and shaded woodlands, Fairmount Park keeps a wealth of natural landscapes within easy reach of all city residents.
You can take a stroll, head out for an afternoon of softball, organized frisbee or pier-side fishing, or just settle in for a family picnic. There are miles of trails for horseback riding, off-road cycling and deep-woods hiking, yet there are also tours of historic mansions, Japanese tea ceremonies and outdoor concerts. Three environmental centers, as well as a wildlife refuge treatment center, help bring the natural world to life for adults as well as children.
