A mecca for birders hoping to glimpse abundant bald eagles, and trout fishermen drawn to its clean, cold waters, the Lackawaxen River flows nearly 25 miles through three counties before joining the Delaware River at Lackawaxen, Pike County.
It is where the late American author Zane Grey lived with his family in the early 1900s, honing a love of fly fishing and other outdoor pursuits. Pike County PA is about the basics--paddling clean rivers, enjoying unspoiled scenery, seeing wildlife, hiking to waterfalls, as well as, good food and charming little towns.

Bethel Woods Concerts at the original Woodstock Festival Site in Bethel, NY are incredibly wonderful.
2009 was the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, held at Yasgur's Farm in Bethel (not Woodstock NY).
Hiking, horseback-riding, and viewing waterfalls are popular activities. In addition, every weekend during the summer, there are various other things to do.
Canoe, raft, kayak and tube rentals from Kittatinny, Landers, Anglers Roost, and Indian Head are within 1 mile. (Even during a drought, the Delaware River is always navigable.) Delaware River rafting reservations can be made just one day in advance and the length of the trip can be tailored to your preferences. If you have your own boat, we can usually shuttle your vehicle.
