SMALL TOWN HOSPITALITY WITH A BIG BACKYARD

IT’S BEEN CALLED A MILE OF HOSPITALITY, 
YET THE SMILES GO FURTHER!

 Our vibrant 4-season Outdoor Town boasts charming shops, delightful restaurants, local businesses, professional services, & rich historical sites. Here, you’re always greeted with a warm welcome—there are no strangers, just good friends waiting to be discovered!

COME PLAY YOUR WAY, JUST A FEW STEPS AWAY.

Load up your bike rack, lace up your hiking boots, saddle up, & cast out as you explore our 38 miles of scenic Rail Trails, featuring breathtaking views of the Lackawanna River.  Our Trail Town is the perfect starting point for a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, horseback riding, & fishing, as well as miles of backwoods for snowmobiling, snowshoeing, & cross-country skiing.
