Trains and Museum
Drop in,
year-round - and watch this 'O' Gauge scale model run on a layout modeled
after the local area.
Located in the
former LC&N Canal Depot, oldest building in White Haven, this 280 sqft
layout include true-to-scale buildings (modeled after local structures),
scale model cars - even motorcycles around a biker bar. The building also
houses a museum and a gift shop.
For more
information, phone 1-570-443-8940. If they have a web site we couldn't
find it. Al Zagofsky of the Times News newspaper in Lehighton wrote an
very informative article about C&B Trains. You can view it at: C&B
Trains.
From I-80 take
exit 273 and drive into town. At Berwick Street turn right, go 4 blocks to
Main Street and turn left. The building (a massive-looking stone
structure) is about a block and a half ahead.

Hawk Falls
Hawk Falls is in Hickory Run State
Park, noted for its rock field (see the State Park web site for details about
this interesting phenomenon). The glacial activity that created this rock
field also was responsible for Hawk Falls which drops a good 25 feet. There is
a good, ¾-mile long trail (moderate difficulty) to Hawk Falls. There are
about 22 other trails only four of which are considered to be 'difficult'.
This is a well maintained park and you should have a very enjoyable visit
here.
From I-80, take exit
274 and follow PA-534 east to the park entrance road (about 6 miles). It will
be on your left. From the PA Turnpike (N.E. Extension), take exit 35 and go
west on PA-940 to the intersection of PA-534. Turn left and follow 534 east to
the park entrance road (about 6 miles). It will be on your left.
