Visitor & Driver Tips
When arriving from Interstate 80 or US-220, follow PA-150 along Hogan Boulevard and prepare to signal early, as traffic along this commercial strip can move swiftly during peak morning and late-afternoon shopping hours. If you are towing a boat trailer, camper, or utility rig, head toward the outer perimeter lanes where longer spots provide optimal pull-through turning space without impeding standard traffic. During high-demand weekends—such as Penn State home football games or Lock Haven University commencement—parking fills up rapidly, so planning your arrival in the early afternoon is strongly advised.
