Perry County

Welcome to Perry County, nestled in the heart of Pennsylvania, where the Susquehanna and Juniata Rivers converge before continuing to the Chesapeake Bay. Surrounded by mountains to the north, south, and west, the county’s rolling hills feature fertile farmland and charming small communities serving nearby farms and homesteads.

Many towns developed around mills powered by local waterways. Perry County hosts one of Pennsylvania’s premier collections of covered bridges, several still carrying traffic as cherished historic landmarks.

Recreation abounds with two state parks, Tuscarora State Forest, vast state game lands, and miles of rivers suited for fishing, kayaking, and boating. Riverbank campgrounds invite thousands to relax and enjoy cookouts amid scenic beauty.

This website profiles each of our communities – places where you arrive as a visitor, leave with new friends and an appreciation of small town charm. For more information, contact the Perry County Chamber of Commerce in New Bloomfield.
