Mentioned in Paul Dubbs in his 1961 book “Where to Go and Place-Names of Centre County” called it “perhaps the finest mountain view to be seen in Centre County.”
Penns View provides an approximately 135° panoramic northerly view of Penns Valley and Penns Creek about 700 feet below. A portion of the village of Coburn is visible through the gaps in the mountains with Millheim and Penns Valley in the background.
Access to the view is via forest roads that are not maintained during the winter months. Poe Paddy Drive from the Coburn area is the best bet.
