I visited Hickory Run State Park with my dog to check out some trails, beautiful views and discover what nature had to offer here. It was a day well spent. A lot of walking and the trails weren't difficult at all, very manageable for dogs. Supportive shoes came in handy nonetheless. Access to Boulder Field, Sand Spring Lake, Hickory Run Chapel and Shades of Death Trail are easily accessible and within very reasonable distance of each other. There is a bathroom at the parking lot to Boulder Field but use it as last resort. I was pretty grossed out. Overall, absolutely gorgeous park. We saw many people fishing. There are plenty of spots to tuck away off of the paths to stop and catch your breath, take in the scenery or enjoy a picnic. Lake Harmony is only 13 minute drive away if interested.

Seven tubs Nature area is the perfect destination for a hike in the woods. A hike on large rocks, across wooden bridges overlooking waterfalls. If you walk to the left and go to the top you can meander down all the tubs. In the summer, you slide down rocky slides in a beautiful stream with natural ‘tubs’ for swimming. You can spend 10 minutes or all day checking this out. If you are not from the area, the site will blow your mind. Be careful on the rocks and be prepared for steps and climbing. With the visit! Park rangers are available for questions- port-a-potties in parking lot. Enjoy nature!

We saw John mulaney and Pete Davidson at the fm Kirby center and it was absolutely amazing. The staff did a great job of getting the line out of the cold while the early show finished. Although, due to their quick turn over they did not have time to clean the theatre between shows and it was covered in trash and spilled food, so that was unfortunate. It was also quite bizarre that they made everyone put their phones in cases. There was someone who got around it, security looked right at her on her phone and said nothing, so I guess it wasn't that important that the phones be put away.

Went to see the dam for view, it was very cold and windy. We will go back in the spring to picnic and hike. Beautiful area.

A great location if you are attending a concert or other large event. It is within walking distance to Wegmans, restaurants and hotels.
7. Market Street Bridge

Affectionally known as the Eagle Bridge to anyone local, the Market Street Bridge is a architectural masterpiece built between 1926-1929, speaking to Wilkes-Bqrre's gilded past as the original Dubai. When coal was king, Wilkes-Barre was one of the most lucrative locations on planet earth to be a owner, much like Dubai and UAE is today. And much like those places, when the natural resources run out or become unprofitable, those communities will disappear and fade, yet the architecture sometimes survives. At least Wilkes-Barre isn't in a desert. Yet, sadly most of the city's architectural heritage was destroyed by short sided locals after the 1972 Agnes flood, and since then by the lowest of the low politicians and developers who have used the term "blight" to describe any old structure that hasn't been renovated recently. "Blight" is a code word for: we want to pay our buddies tax payer money to rip it down and give us a kickback. Thankfully, somehow the Eagle Bridge has escaped the wrecking ball and modernization of the city.

Based on the review before me, "Unimpressed", my husband and I went because of this semi-negative review which stated that this property took the Covid-19 virus very serious and everything was clean. The place was immaculate and the staff was so nice from check-in, casino floor, restaurants, and patrons. All wore masks correctly and we got the break we so sincerely needed. I'm not sure why "Unimpressed" picked on the very unimportant aspects of the stay but even the things he picked on ...the parking lot, the bed, the bathroom light ... none of these things bothered us in the least (btw, the bathroom light never went out on me) and we have visited many other casinos as well. The only negative thing about the room was that there isn't a refrigerator in every room; there is a $15 charge but that wouldn't deter me from going back. Next time, I will make sure I am there when there is live horse racing ... they ran the day before our stay and the day after we left :(.
