Paragon is still closed according to their website. They're looking
for land (in all the wrong places?).
In addition to Hershey & Gettysburg, Carlisle is close enough to make
a visit to DC & Baltimore viable for people coming from some
directions as part of their trip. Same with Pittsburgh & Philly. I
don't think you'd want to do daytrips for most of those, but coming
from the south, you could hit DC for a night or 2 on the way up or
back home for example.

There's very limited 4-wheeling in the Adirondacks. Best bet would be
to find out where they did Camp Jeep a few years ago, I think it was
near Lake Placid. If you're really thinking about the Adirondacks, it
may be best to write up a list of what you want to do, then see if
there's any available in/near the park. There's rafting in the SE, W,
NE and N areas of the park - but by mid-summer, the flow is way, way
down (unless it's a really rainy summer, like this year). Obviously
lots of hiking, canoeing & kayaking everywhere. Don't forget that
there is no "quick" way to anyplace within the park from any other
random place in the park; almost exclusively 2-lane roads and not a
lot of high-speed areas.
