Locally there is a small park where I run or hike every day, and that's my go to spot.
But about 65 miles from home is the Pine Creek Gorge/ Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. The views are spectacular from the top, and there is a 65 mile long trail along the bottom. Its heaven on earth!

I've run the 100k race on the trail twice and have done numerous long training runs there. The whole area has loads of state owned forest and parklands filled with trails and waterways.
