Madison Township, a forested community in Appalachia's countryside
Sandwiched between the Redbank Creek to the north, the Mahoning Creek to the south and the Allegheny River to the west, Madison Township is a rural community deep in Appalachia's forested countryside. With a total area of 30.9 square miles, Madison Township has a population of under 1,000 people, offering its residents exceptional privacy and loads of open space. "It’s a small town area," says local Realtor Sandy Bracken of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, who has been working in real estate for over 15 years. "Lots of community stuff goes on in the area with restaurants, bars, pizza shops and a veterinarian not far away."

Hiking, fishing and hunting are popular outdoor activities
With so much open space, it should come as no surprise that Madison Township offers an array of outdoor activities. Hikers have terrific access to the Armstrong Trail — a 35.5-mile flat trail alongside the Allegheny River. Invite friends for a walk through wilderness or bring your camera and try to capture a shot of a bald eagle in its natural environment. You can also go to Gumtown Memorial Park in New Bethlehem to fish along the creek or even gather for a game of pickup basketball. Local hunters won't need to travel far for a day in the woods. State game land 287 is pocketed just south of the region while game land 137 sits 8 miles to the east. "There are a lot of kayakers as you go down the river and into its shallow portions. There are also lots of pontoon boats, and the river is a stone's throw from restaurants and stores in New Bethlehem," Bracken says.
Residents of Madison Township can ride for miles along the Armstrong Trail.

Grocery stores and eateries in nearby New Bethlehem
To buy ingredients for a home-cooked meal, travel 10 miles east to Tom's Riverside in New Bethlehem for fresh meats and produce or pick up other essentials at Dollar General, located 7 miles east off Alexander H. Lindsay Memorial Highway. Additional shopping options can be found 16 miles south at Hilltop Plaza, which includes a Walmart Supercenter and an Aldi. New Bethlehem contains several popular eateries. Joe's Pizzeria and Italian Restaurant is a staple among locals, offering penne pasta, calzones and, of course, New York-style pizza. Just down the street from the pizzeria, you can pop by Ever Moore's for family-style cooking. The popular brunch spot is one of the area's more recognizable eateries, thanks in no small part to its peanut butter bear statue that greets guests on the way in. The statue is inspired by New Bethlehem's annual Peanut Butter Festival, which runs down Broad Street right in front of Ever Moore's. If you have a sweet tooth, you definitely won't want to miss Widnoon Soft Serve in the heart of Madison Township. The roadside ice cream parlor is revered for its wide variety of ice cream flavors and generous portion sizes.
