Howard blends small-town ease with big-time scenery, thanks to its front-row seat to Bald Eagle State Park and the broad waters of Foster Joseph Sayers Lake. Sunrise paddles, sandy-beach afternoons, and year-round fishing are part of everyday life here, while trailheads, boat launches, and picnic groves sit just minutes from home. Commuting is straightforward, with quick connections to Bellefonte and State College, and convenient access to I-80 via Milesburg.
Families appreciate the strong local schools within the Bald Eagle Area School District, including neighborhood-focused programs and competitive athletics. Healthcare is close at hand through Mount Nittany Health, and the calendar fills quickly with regional traditions like the Centre County Grange Fair, a beloved late-summer celebration just a short drive away.
Civic life is straightforward and accessible. The Howard Borough website keeps residents up to date on community services, permits, and events, while county-level resources are readily available through the Centre County government. Whether you’re launching a kayak after work, hosting a lakeside picnic, or heading into Centre County for dining and culture, the pace here makes it easy to enjoy both the outdoors and everyday conveniences.
