When it comes to leisure time,
if there's one thing that's definitely lacking in our region - it's boredom!!
That's because no matter what you
like to do on your days off, there are an endless amount of recreational
activities that provide fun, excitement and relaxation all year
long.
If golf's your game, you
can always hit the greens at the Berwick Golf Club, the
International Golf School and Willow Run Inn & Golf Club.
Of course, summer doesn't last forever... which is just fine for
all those who love to ski, snowboard and snowmobile!
Nearby mountains offer some of the most popular skiing in the
American Northeast! In fact, close to 200,000 people every year
flock to the Montage Mountain Ski/Summer Resort, which is consistently
ranked by Snow Country Magazine as one of the best snowmaking
resorts in the Mid-Atlantic region.
State Game Lands
The Greater Berwick Area also lays claim to 19,255 acres of State
Game Lands that are managed and maintained by the Pennsylvania
Game Commission. This beautiful country makes for exciting hunting
but also offers boating, fishing, hiking, bird watching and nature
study. During the winter, snowmobiles can be operated in designated
areas.
Susquehanna Riverlands
Maintained by PPL Electric Utilities,
the Susquehanna Riverlands are located just north of Berwick and
include 1,200 acres that run along the Susquehanna River. This
scenic retreat provides nature lovers of all types with a fantastic
venue for hiking, picnicking, boating, fishing, wildlife viewing
or simply enjoying the sun and fresh air.
Outdoor Amusement
The whole family can also enjoy endless
fun at Knoebels Amusement Park, which is a mere 28 miles away.
This 75 year-old park has been thrilling patrons for generations
and was named the 2nd best amusement park in the country by Amusement
Today Magazine.
Residents can also enjoy outdoor activities at Briar Creek
Lake and Ber-Vaughn Park in Berwick.
