Bradford County, Pennsylvania
Bradford County is in the northeastern part of the state, bordering New York. It’s in the Endless Mountains region of Pennsylvania. Towanda, the county seat, sits along the Susquehanna River.
Outdoor recreation is huge here. Locals fish for trout in mountain streams and hike the endless backcountry trails. It’s a place of winding rivers, dense forests, and small farming communities.
The area played a big role in the early natural gas boom. These days, it’s quieter. The French Azilum historic site tells a fascinating story of French refugees who settled here in the 1790s.
