Warm weather means open roads and new places to see. Drivers in Scranton have some really cool destinations within just a couple of hours. From waterfalls to lakes to old mountain towns, there is a lot waiting out there for you and your crew.
Chase Some Waterfalls
Ricketts Glen State Park sits about an hour north and has more than 20 waterfalls along its hiking trails. The drive itself winds through farmland and forests, making the trip just as fun as the destination. People from Archbald often pack snacks and make a full day out of it. Before you head out, swing by our service center so your car is good to go.
Head to the Lake
Lake Wallenpaupack draws large crowds every summer for good reason. You can go swimming, rent a boat, or just chill on the shore. Families from Carbondale, PA love this spot because the water stays cool even on the hottest of days. The roads leading there pass through quiet country towns worth stopping in.
Visit a Historic Mountain Town
Jim Thorpe looks like something out of an old movie. This little town along the Lehigh River has brick streets, local shops, and mountain views everywhere you look. Folks from Dunmore can get there in about an hour by taking the scenic route through the hills. Grab lunch at a local spot and walk around before heading home.
The Poconos Are Calling
No summer road trip list would work without mentioning the Pocono Mountains. Hiking trails, state parks, and roadside diners dot the landscape. Starting from Eynon, you can be deep in the mountains before you know it.
