Near foothills and farmlands

Perched in the foothills of Western Pennsylvania with plenty of farmlands is Burrell Township, set 45 miles from Pittsburgh. The township is named after Judge Jeremiah Murry Burrell, a judge from Westmoreland County Court in the 1850s. He previously served as a newspaper editor for the Pennsylvania Argus and was known for being a fiery debater and is the namesake of three other communities in Pennsylvania. “It’s remote and scenic, with pretty country views,” says local Realtor Melissa Barker of RE/MAX Select Realty. “Probably if you’re looking for quiet and solitude, that’s the place to go.” She adds, “I love the rolling hills and it’s a great place to view the autumn leaves.” People who value outdoor activities will also be attracted to the area known for hunting, fishing, kayaking, hiking and boating. Although rural, Burrell is far from disassociated from modern amenities. “It’s not hard to jump on 28 South,” says Sandy Bracken of Berkshire Hathaway. “It's not far away from stuff, but it is more rural.”

The CAP Index crime score for the community is 1 out of 10, the lowest possible score.

State Game Lands 273 features trapping, fishing and hunting

State Game Lands 273 is roughly 15 miles from the community. Hunting, trapping and fishing can be done here, and game species include white-tailed deer, bear, turkey, grouse, rabbit and squirrel. Fur-taking opportunities include raccoon, red and gray fox, mink, muskrat and coyote. Trout fishing is popular at nearby Yellow Creek, and the water is stocked with brown, brook and rainbow trout. Unlike several other State Game Lands, this relatively small game land is not large enough to accommodate horseback riding, mountain biking or snowmobiling. Another outdoor draw is Crooked Creek Lake, a 350-acre park. The lake is popular for bass, crappie, muskie and sunfish fishing. Canoeing, kayaking, and swimming are also allowed on Crooked Creek Lake from Tunnelville Beach. Crooked Creek Campground includes 45 campsites, a playground, beach volleyball and cornhole boards. Five paths, including the 134-mile Baker Trail, run alongside Crooked Creek Lake.
