Austin T. Blakeslee Natural Area

Beautiful spot for a hike along Tobyhanna Creek. The main trail takes you along the creek all the to the back of the property and is a moderate hike. No major ascents of descents. Be careful near the falls as the rocks can be slick, be especially in colder weather.

There are a few other trails you can use to create a number of different loops out of. The main (lower) parking lot has a nice pavilion with several picnic tables, Ajay just past the falls at the Falls Overlook there are a few picnic tables as well.

Beautiful area n fun for the whole family

Great hiking trails and the pine trees as you walk in are breathtaking.

Great hiking on somewhat rough trails. The pine plantation and the falls are what we usually make sure we see. During dryer spells the creek can be waded in and out on western bank. Butterflies love it right there. Favored spot for fly fishing. A large pavilion, picnic tables, and charcoal grills available. Portapotties. How do I spell that? Great place to stop for a leg stretch during drive. Get here!

I love this place for more reasons than one. The little forest of pine trees is first. The creek is beautiful and peaceful to just watch. Need a getaway from everyday b.s.?, just stop here for an hour and you lose yourself. It will help. Nature at its finest, but I haven't seen nearly enough of it. Going to hike the trail to see the falls and take advantage of a good photo op SOON!!!
