The riverside setting makes it easy to turn a browse into a longer stop with a meal on the water.

Ritter's Winery & Cidery

Winery & Cidery

A working farm winery and cidery near Lake Ariel producing fruit wines and hard ciders from apples grown on-site, with a tasting room that keeps a genuine farm-stand feel. The focus on fruit wines and hard ciders, rather than traditional grape wines alone, gives the tasting menu a distinctive regional character built around what actually grows on the property. It's a lower-key, more rustic stop than some of the area's larger wine-trail destinations, which is part of its appeal.

Wallenpaupack Brewing Company

Small-batch brewing keeps the lineup more experimental than what you'd find from a larger regional producer.

Mid-December Weekend Downtown Hawley

A weekend-long holiday celebration through downtown Hawley with a parade, horse and carriage rides, live theater and music, a Christmas tree train, and a holiday lights display along the Lackawaxen River. The sheer range of programming — a parade, live performances, carriage rides, and a lights display all in one compact downtown — makes it worth building a weekend visit around if the dates line up. The riverside lights display in particular gives the town a genuinely festive, small-town holiday atmosphere.

Fridays, May Through October Bingham Park

A weekly outdoor farmers market on the banks of the Lackawaxen River, with local produce, fresh eggs and meats, baked goods, and cold brew coffee from Wayne County growers and makers. The riverside Bingham Park setting makes for a pleasant weekly stroll as much as a shopping errand, and the vendor mix runs deep enough — produce, proteins, baked goods, coffee — to genuinely stock a group's kitchen for the week rather than just picking up a few extras. Running from May through October, it's a reliable weekly rhythm for any stay that overlaps with the season.

Pike County Est. 1905

Pennsylvania's fourth state park, established in 1905 on former Lenape hunting grounds. Two glacial lakes and roughly 50 miles of trails sit within a much larger 12,000-plus-acre buffer of Delaware State Forest, making it one of the most undeveloped, genuinely quiet parks in the region. Being surrounded by a much larger state forest buffer gives it a scale of undeveloped wilderness that's rare this close to the region's more built-up lake towns, and the two-lake layout — Promised Land Lake and the smaller Egypt Meadow Lake — offers two distinct settings within the same park. As one of the Commonwealth's oldest state parks, it also has more than a century of established infrastructure — cabins, campgrounds, and a well-developed trail system — layered quietly into what still feels like genuine backcountry in many stretches.
