High Point Scenic Vista & Recreation Area
Located on top of a hill, Highpoint Scenic Vista & Recreation Area makes a great place to see the sunrise or sunset. It encompasses 79 acres of meadowland and overlooks the Susquehanna River. When you can catch the sunlight reflecting off the water as the sun rises higher in the sky, you’re sure to get tons of likes just moments after you post your photo. If you go to watch the sunset, you’ll be able to capture some great colors that are sure to catch the eye of everyone who sees your photo.

Chickies Rock
Although Chickies Rock is not technically in York County, its location provides an incredible view of the area. This vantage point gives you a view of the county from across the Susquehanna River. So if you prefer to catch the sun setting over the river as opposed to rising over it, this is the place to be. During the day, the greenery of the trees contrasts beautifully against the blue of the water. However, as the sun sets, the water takes fiery colors while the hill and surrounding foliage become dark and silhouetted.
This combination of lighting makes for Instagram-worthy photos every time. It’s a popular destination, but keep in mind you will have to hike up the hill to get to the overlook. Don’t worry, it will be worth the effort.

Otter Creek Campground
When you stay at the Otter Creek Campground, the opportunity to snap both sunrise and sunset photos is right at your fingertips. You’ll be surrounded by trees, so the lighting will look great shining through the leaves and trunks when the sun rises or sets. No matter whether you take your photos right from the campground or you hike to the Urey Overlook, they’re sure to become favorites on your Instagram feed.

Maple Lawn Winery & Cider House
Watching the sunset (and snapping exceptional photos of it) from the Maple Lawn Winery & Cider House is a memorable experience. Not only will you get post-worthy sunset photos, but you’ll also have the opportunity to try some of the delicious wine and cider offered here. In fact, make it a truly great sunset photo by perfectly positioning your glass of wine in it to create an Instagram post that will gain a heart from everyone who sees it.

Your Own Backyard
