Antiquing

Wayne County is known for antique shops in and around Honesdale and Hawley, as well as Castle Antiques, which specializes in antiques and replicas. My favorite thing to do is going to auctions either at private homes or auction houses. Anything you could imagine.

Boating & Fishing

Fishing and boating can be found at the Delaware River, Long Pond, Lake Wallenpaupack, the Lackawaxen River, local fly-fishing in stocked streams, and other hidden spots. We can tell you where you can find good fishing spots, where to motorboat and water ski, jet ski, sail, kayak, tube or canoe. Promised Land State Park even rents out paddle boats.

Churches & Places to Worship

There are many denominations available in the Bethany/Honesdale area and if you are looking to attend a worship service while you are staying here, we will be happy to help you find a place that will feel comfortable to you. - A list is available in our library.

Fall Foliage Tours

The best time for peak leaves in Bethany and Honesdale is late September/early October. Specific driving routes are available through Fall In PA.

Golf

Local courses include Cricket Hill in Honesdale, Red Maples in Waymart, and Lake Lorain and Memorial Links are around Pleasant Mount. For PGA play you can visit Woodloch Springs Resort or Villa Roma Resort in nearby New York.

Hiking, Biking, or Just Walking

The family favorite hiking spot is Child's Park about an hour away, and the Delaware Highlands area wonderful for hikes and views of all kinds — especially the amazing Northeast Pennsylvania waterfalls. You can visit Lacawac Sanctuary, Dorflinger-Suydam Sanctuary, and Promised Land State Park, or any of the trails through nearby state parks and forests. There is a disc golf currently available in Honesdale, and a major course undergoing renovation at Prompton State Park. And, located just on the other side of Honesdale, is the Triple W Riding Stables which offers riding for all levels of experience.

Natural Health

Visit the website of Nathaniel Whitmore herbalist and shiatsu massage therapist. He leads many nature walks, pointing out the edible plants of the region, as well as those used for medicinal purposes. Nathaniel's first herbal teacher, Taterbug, was a 'Sang digger and 'shiner who taught Nathaniel about wild edible and medicinal plants. Currently, Nathaniel uses organic grain alcohol to make herbal tinctures. He also makes cough syrups, salves, and other herbal preparations, and intends to offer a line of products to the public later this year.

Performing Arts

If performing arts are your thing, we have the Mountain Laurel Center for the Performing Arts nearby in Bushkill, Pa.

And Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is about a 40 minutes drive. This is located on the site of the 1969 Woodstock Festival.

The Stourbridge Rail Excursion

Honesdale is the birthplace of the American railroad and the small brick building which now houses the Wayne County Historical Society was once the D&H Canal's company office. On August 8, 1829, the Delaware & Hudson operated the first commercial locomotive on rails in the western hemisphere. That locomotive left from this spot, ran three miles to Seelyville and returned. You can take excursions of different lengths, either just to Hawley, or all the way to Lackawaxen, Pike County. The schedule and more information found at the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce.

Swimming

There are swimming spots hidden along the Delaware River, and Honesdale has a public pool, Lake Wallenpaupack also has a lovely public beach.

Yoga & Pilates

Yoga and Pilates are available at the Himalayan Institute Main Street campus. It also features a cafe;, book store, and gift shop. The Main Campus of the Himalyan Institute is located just 3.1 miles north of our bed and breakfast. They offer many more in-depth programs and weekend retreats.
