Our Neighbors

While Noxen offers plenty of old town charm surrounded by scenic mountains and countryside, there are also plenty of other beautiful towns and municipalities nearby, and there's no shortage of sights and activities to keep you busy.  Head a dozen miles north to Tunkhannock to catch Pennsylvania's Historic Route 6, (part of the nationwide span that stretches from coast to coast).  While you're there, check out some of the great local wineries, breweries, and distilleries or the restored Dietrich Theater.  Or, take a hot air balloon ride over Northeastern Pennsylvania.  Head to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area for sporting events including Penguins ice hockey and RailRiders AAA baseball, plus auto racing at Pocono Raceway.  For more entertainment options you can visit Mohegan Pennsylvania Casino, check out concerts and shows at the Mohegan Arena, the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts, and The Pavilion at Montage.  For winter fun, there's skiing at Montage Mountain, Elk Mountain, or Jack Frost/Big Boulder, and indoor water parks at Kalahari or Great Wolf Lodge.

Still other attractions include the Lackawanna County Coal Mine Tour, the Lion Brewery, and the Everhart Museum.  There's also hiking, fishing, hunting, boating - plenty for the outdoor enthusiast.
