Hesston offers the kind of everyday life where a quick detour after work can turn into a sunset on the water. Minutes from the shoreline of Raystown Lake, residents head to Seven Points for swimming, paddling, and summer events, while boaters dock and launch at Seven Points Marina. Mountain bikers rave about the Allegrippis Trails for their flowing singletrack, and weekend explorers find year-round discoveries at Lincoln Caverns & Whisper Rocks and the storied Swigart Museum, known as America’s oldest automobile museum. For a different kind of escape, the hemlock-lined hollows and overlooks of Trough Creek State Park are an easy drive away.
Families are served by the Huntingdon Area School District, with a range of academics and activities, and lifelong learners appreciate lectures, arts, and athletics at Juniata College in nearby Huntingdon. Daily needs are covered by local outfitters and services, while bigger retail and dining options in State College are within a reasonable commute. Set within Huntingdon County, housing runs the gamut from wooded retreats and lake-adjacent cottages to year-round homes on quiet lanes, appealing to both full-time residents and second-home seekers.
