Kempton, PA

Tucked into the rolling hills of northern Berks County, Kempton is a quiet, rural village sitting right beneath Hawk Mountain. Even with its small footprint, it has plenty to offer anyone who loves the outdoors. The surrounding countryside is filled with open farmland and wooded ridges, with easy access to the Appalachian Trail and thousands of protected acres at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary. On weekends, you will even spot the vintage Wanamaker, Kempton and Southern steam train rolling through the valley.
