As the leaves begin to turn in the Laurel Highlands and the air shifts to crisp, there’s no better time than now to plan a stay at The Blue Canoe RV Resort. Fall adds a layer of magic to the river views, the GAP trail rides, and just relaxing at the campsite. Here’s what’s new, what to expect, and how to make the most of your autumn escape.
Why Fall is Fantastic at Blue Canoe
- The GAP (Great Allegheny Passage) bike trail runs through the campground — cooler temperatures and fewer bugs make trail rides especially beautiful now.
- River floats or canoe/kayak trips can be more peaceful in off-peak times. Be sure to check river levels (if above 4 ft the Connellsville gauge, rentals may be unavailable) before you plan.
- Scenic views: river + forest backdrops with fall foliage make campsite spots with river or trail view especially photogenic.
- Fewer crowds, more quiet: as peak summer winds down, the amenities like the pools, arcade, cafe, and general store are less busy, so you get more personal, relaxed experiences.
Suggestions for Fall Activities to Try
- Book a cabin or premium riverfront RV site for spectacular views of fall colors.
- Plan a float/kayak or tube day (when river levels permit).
- Rent a bike or e-bike and take sections of the GAP trail — morning or late afternoon rides will be cooler and more scenic.
- Use the gem mine, arcade, and kid-crafts events for rainy or cooler days.
- Enjoy evening fires under the stars, maybe in the adults-only pool or hot tub earlier in the day.
Don’t let summer go without one last outdoor adventure. Blue Canoe RV Resort offers both comfort and nature, even as the season cools. If you’re thinking of a getaway filled with river views, trail rides, and cozy fall nights, book now for the perfect time to experience autumn in Connellsville.
