Talleyrand Park: Guided Outing

There is always something new to discover at Talleyrand Park in downtown Historic Bellefonte. Many are familiar with the gazebo, ducks, and playground here, but can you find the sculpture garden, edible landscape garden, and the bridge that connects the two main areas of the park? Cross High Street to stroll along the Bellefonte Waterfront pedestrian walkway along Spring Creek that includes easy access to the stream for flyfishing and kayaking via staircases into the water.

On Sunday, June 9, Local Historia’s Matt Maris will join our Centred Outdoors guides to lead two outings in  Talleyrand Park. "The history of Bellefonte’s waterfront is at the  heart of the area’s history,” says Maris. “From the Big Spring to the  Gamble Mill, the tour includes discussion of industries like the Match  Factory, railroads, former structures, the development of Talleyrand  Park as well as other stories about Bellefonte and its people." On Thursday, June 13, our Centred Outdoors guides will lead another unique  outing to explore the park from both a nature-based and historical  perspective.
