1. Grey Towers National Historic Site
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 384 reviews
Reviewed By Nellie727 - Pennsylvania
Grey Towers is the family home of the Pinchot family. Gifford Pinchot was the first American born forester, and worked in Teddy Roosevelt's administration, before coming home to Pennsylvania and serving as governor twice.
Only the first floor of the house us open for most tours, although the entire house is occasionally viewable. It's an interesting place, with a vast entry hall, an interesting library and sitting room, and, out back, the best picnic table ever.
A separate building houses a place to view some short videos on the family and the house. I have to say I got a little chill watching JFK riding in that open convertible, barely two months before his death, when he came to dedicate the house as a national historic site.
There's a tiny little shop, with some interesting books and a few souvenirs.
I was surprised how many people were visiting on a weekday in October.

This is a very nice park! We drove the scenic drive, stopped at the observation platform and saw some great views. Then we went the point, then drove around looking for a hiking trail, stopped at a lake and walked around. We went back up to the point just in time to see the sunset! You can see really far at the point, many mountains in view! Definaitely check it out!

Reviewed By Christopher M - Pocono Mountains Region, Pennsylvania
For visitors coming to Pa. on I-84, this is an excellent stop to get acquainted with the Poconos and the attractions in Pa. The center is filled with useful and informative maps and brochures and is a good pit stop to use the restroom and stretch your legs.
5. Hawk's Nest Highway
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 17 reviews
Reviewed By GreaseMonkey1499 - Barryville New York
I know Hawk's Nest very well. Go over it (thru it) at least 8 time a week. It is park of the scenic byway of the Delaware River (Rt. 97) Going up (or down) in Orange County and Sullivan County in New York. On the other side of the river is Pennsylvania. The road is a fun road if you are not afraid of rock falling on your car. There are rest stops for cars and motorcycles in several places. The scariest park of the road is the 3 foot high wall that is the only barrier that seperates you from a 400 ft. drop into the Delaware River. The view is beyond description. Right on the other side as your driving is a rock face wall as far as you can look up.
This road has been used for many car and motorcycle commercials over the years. As soon as last week when they stopped the traffic for filming. The speed limit is 25 miles and hour but what a joke. The Japanese bike riders like to use to road to test their skills (mostly on weekends) and go thru at 70 mph or more. It's about a two hour drive from NYC and worth the ride. There use to be a small restaurant on the top of the road but burned down about 10 years or so and was never rebuilt.
6. Raymondskill Falls

Reviewed By ttiottn1 - Ohio
When we stopped at the Dingmans Falls Visitor Center we were told by the Ranger this is a must see Falls in the area because it is the tallest Falls in PA. But once we got there, we learned from a Ranger on site that only the path to the very top of the Falls was open. The other two trails to view the middle and bottom of the Falls were closed for renovations. The only path currently open is very short & easy but all you see if the top of the falls; not worth the drive so skip it until the main viewing areas are reopened.
7. Tri-States Rock

Reviewed By schmutaki - new jersey
This is a fun thing to do if you want to be in three states at once! There is a New Jersey monument there as well as the tri states marker. You are under a highway so there is not much else. Surprisingly, there were a number of other people there as well. We drove through the Laurel Grove cemetery to get there but did not stop in the cemetery. Enjoy!

Had to stop while driving through this town after reading review on Trip Advisor. Probably best spot in this town. Lovely, friendly owner. Great soaps, essential oils and other gift items. Great stop to bring something home to someone who didn't make the trip with you. Pleasant surprise for this town.
9. The Columns Museum
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By SuzeeQL - Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey
Abe Lincoln certainly is loved by this museum! What neat things to share with the public. The flag that cradled Lincolns bleeding head, a replica of the revolver that killed him. Old phonographs, the old camps from the area and so much more. It took us about an hour and a half to walk through as we stopped and chatted by exhibits. The theater must have been something else in it's day. I count us lucky to have found this adventure.
10. High Point Golf Club
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 4 reviews
Reviewed By MaloneBT - Morristown, New Jersey
High Point Golf Club offers a wonderful challenge to all golfers. The first hole is a great example. It is a dog leg left and the second shot requires a shot over a large lake. If you are not on the left side of the fairway you'll need to lay up with a short second shot. Many holes offer unique challenges. There is a short par four which requires a shot over water if you go for the green on your tee shot. Most par 3s are close to 200 yards except the 18th hole. Although short in length, the sloping green makes this very hard to par, particularly if the pin is on the lower level. The par on this course is 73 and it should be 72 as one hole is 416 from the white and 448 from the back tees. That is a par 4 in my book. The slope is 133 from the white and 138 from the back so the course is considered difficult. Here are my complaints. The course requires too much driving on roads also occupied by cars. I thought the greens were in bad shape on my visit. They also have some difficulty in getting tee times correct as you may find they have double bookings. They will accommodate you but you may need to start in the middle of the course somewhere. The clubhouse needs some improvement as the locker room / men’s restroom is not in great shape. They do have a bar / restaurant which looked nice but I did not use. I think with a little work this course has great potential. I'll be back again and I'd recommend others try the course. I think the price value here is very good.
