September 13, 2008: Green Earth Fair is coming to Lackawaxen.

Autumn is brilliant; colors dress the mountains and are also reflected in the river, usually starting in late September and continuing through October.

Take a walk across the Roebling Bridge, the oldest suspension bridge in the U.S., and visit the small museum on the NY side.

Sit by the rivers edge for a while. Bald eagles frequently are seen on our riverbank, often when you least expect it. When the crows start making a lot of noise, look for an eagle.

Shop for winter outdoor clothes, boots, and ski clothes at Alice’s Wonderland (open 7 days). Best brands at great prices. Shop for the winter holidays without stepping foot inside a mall! Favorite shops are The Firefly Shop (toys, gift-wraped for free), Hare Hollow (collectibles), The Craft Shop (gifts and decorations), all in Milford. The River Market (gift baskets of jams, chutneys, etc) in Barryville NY,  and Morning Glory (gifts) in Honesdale. For antiques, try Timely Treasures in Hawley.

Hike Minisink Battleground or Tusten Mountain Trail. Or, follow our driving directions to area waterfalls. More hiking suggestions.

Immerse yourself in fall foliage during a canoe or kayak trip on the river. The colors on the mountains are reflected in the water too.

Smallmouth bass fishing is great through mid-October. Field & Stream Magazine (July 07) puts the Upper Delaware River in the top 5 for smallmouth nationwide. Wade in from our riverbank or hire a drift boat!

Take a ride to the site of the original 1969 Woodstock Festival, now Bethel Woods, and see a music event or visit the new museum which is all about the events and music of the 1960s. Sunday Harvest Festivals are 11am to 4pm through October 7, each with a different theme.

Horseback trail rides are popular in the cooler fall weather. (If you would prefer to bet on a horse rather than ride one, Monticello Raceway has live harness racing every Mon-Thurs at 1:10pm plus 1500 slot machines.)

Round trip from Honesdale to Lackawaxen: Train rides are in October

Peter's Europa House Restaurant on Route 6 in Shohola is one of many outstanding restaurants, all individually owned and operated. There are no chain restaurants in the river valley!

For a real splurge, arrange for a massage at one of the newest top 10 Spas in the Country, The Lodge at Woodloch, located only 15 minutes from Roebling Inn.
