memorable Pennsylvania getaway will find that Scranton PA is a great year-round
place for families and couples with its rich industrial history and myriad of indoor
and outdoor things to see and do.

Outdoor aficionados love the Scranton area, just west of the Pocono Mountains, for
its number of impressive natural parks. Archbald Pothole State Park, a 150-acre park
with recreational areas and walking trails has long been a prominent tourist
attraction for its 38 feet deep depression formed more than 10,000 years ago during
the last ice age. Also offering secluded natural beauty are McDade Park which
features an arboretum, trails, Olympic-sized pool, playgrounds, and stocked pond,
and the 1411-acre Lackawanna State Park with a beautiful lake serving as its
centerpiece. Downhill skiing and snowboarding is available at Montage Mountain.
Offering 22 trails and 140 acres of terrain, Montage Mountain Ski Area has something
to satisfy moguls of all ages and skill levels.

From museums and nightlife to stadiums and shopping including the ever-popular Mall
at Steamtown, there is Scranton Pennsylvania entertainment fun for all ages.
