2022 TRAVEL GUIDE
KnoebelsAmusement Resort A Family Tradition
Knoebels Amusement Resort features 63 rides, a crystal pool, dozens of games & gift shops, hundreds of campsites, a golf course and more. But it all began with a swimming hole.
In the summer of 1925, the popular summer spot was Roaring Creek, which still runs through the center of Knoebels today. Everyone splashing around in the swimming hole gave Henry Knoebel an idea. He began construction on a large swimming pool in the same area where the crystal pool is today. And with that swimming pool, Knoebels opened on July 4, 1926. That same year, Henry added a restaurant and a steam-powered carousel. Over the past 96 years Knoebels has
added the rides, food, games, and camping visitors now know and love, while still holding on to its family friendly beginnings with free admission, free parking,
free entertainment, and free picnic facilities. With something for kids of all ages (or just the kids at heart) Knoebels will become a cherished tradition for your family!
Knoebels now features family fun, no matter the season. The amusement park is open the last weekend in April through the last weekend in September, followed by a spook-tacular Hallo-fun event on weekends in October. And the park’s newest addition is Joy Through the Grove, a drive-through Christmas light experience, open nightly after Thanksgiving. Knoebels Amusement Resort is located at 391 Knoebels Blvd, Route 487 in Elysburg, PA. Plan your fun now at: KNOEBELS. COM

In Columbia County, Bloomsburg is the largest, with a population of just over 14,000. It is also home to Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania. A unique feature of Bloomsburg is its designation as the only incorporated “town” in Pennsylvania, officially made so by the State General Assembly in 1870. All other communities in the state are designated as cities, boroughs, or townships. A section of downtown Bloomsburg is also a National Historic District, which ensures the preservation of its fine residential architecture. To the east, Berwick has a proud industrial history. For a number of years, the borough was the largest manufacturer of train and subway cars in the eastern United States. In 1904, Berwick’s American Car & Foundry Company produced the world’s first all-steel
A destination is only as vibrant as its communities, and Columbia & Montour Counties may be counted as fortunate in that regard. While much of the region is comprised of idyllic river valleys, rolling hills, and rural farmland, as well as parks, forests, and state gamelands, the area’s communities are at its heart.

passenger car. In later years, the plant churned out over 15,000 tanks for World War II. During the war, the borough was the top tank-producer in the nation. In neighboring Montour County, Danville’s history includes a documented role in the westward expansion of America via the growth of the railroad industry. In the 1800s, Danville forged a reputation as an iron-making center, creating, and manufacturing the railroad industry’s first iron T-rail. Today, visitors will enjoy exploring downtown Danville and strolling the length of the community’s historic Mill Street. A walk through the streets of Danville is a study of 19th century architecture: Federal, Second Empire, Italianate, Colonial, Classic Revival, Victorian, and Queen Anne.
Bloomsburg, Berwick, and Danville are all located on the banks of the Susquehanna River, making them picturesque destinations for seasonal travelers. In addition to these three waterfront communities, the counties are also home to many other small boroughs and villages, nestled in the surrounding rural countryside. Finding and exploring
hidden gems like Benton, Catawissa, Elysburg, Millville, andWashingtonville will keep travelers busy. The rich histories of each community in Columbia & Montour Counties provide plenty of reasons to spend an extra day or two in the region. Begin planning your visit today!

The peace and tranquility of a vacation spent stream-side just can’t be beat, especially for angling enthusiasts. Envision casting your line and waiting for that monster fish to strike while you take in the picturesque surroundings. In Columbia & Montour Counties, you’ll find no shortage of fishing hot-spots and scenic surroundings. The north branch of the mighty Susquehanna River, the East Coast’s longest river, flows directly through both counties. For those enjoying its resources, it provides one of the best outlets for outdoor recreation in Pennsylvania. The Susquehanna, and other creeks and lakes in the counties, are home to trout, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Channel and Bullhead Catfish, Bluegill, Yellow Perch, Walleye, Carp, Pan Fish, Crappie, and Tiger Muskellunge. Fishing Creek runs north-south through Columbia County and is considered to be one of the finest trout streams in Pennsylvania. For those looking to navigate still waters, Lake Chillisquaque, Lake Jean, and Briar Creek Lake are three area lakes where anglers can test their luck. What are you waiting for? Gather your fishing buddies and visit iTourColumbiaMontour.com/fishing to begin planning a relaxing angling adventure!

the occasional black bear. Twenty minutes south of the Preserve, the J. Manley Robbins Trail at the Hess Recreation Area in Danville is the oldest known rail-to-trail in the United States and provides a scenic walk or bike. In the southern part of Columbia County, Weiser State Forest – Roaring Creek Tract offers the area’s largest trail system, including an eight mile shared use trail that is ideal for families out for a casual weekend jaunt. Weiser is also home to four historic miner trails from the 19th century that were restored in the early 2000’s to allow for present-day explorers to “walk in the footsteps” of miners from days past. In total, there are approximately 40 miles of shared use trails for hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing at the Roaring Creek Tract. Further east at the Susquehanna Riverlands near Berwick, hikers and bicyclists can traverse the 12.5 mile Susquehanna Warrior Trail that retraces an old Native American footpath along the mighty Susquehanna River.

However, with every passing year, these simple wooden structures have grown to epitomize the peace and beauty of rural life. A covered bridge today is a reminder of the craftsmanship of our ancestors, and of life without all of the hustle and bustle of the modern world. For adults who recall days spent playing or fishing in the streams beneath the bright red spans, these bridges symbolize the nostalgia of childhood. Columbia & Montour Counties have 25 of Pennsylvania’s remaining covered bridges, and are the perfect destination for seeing these American treasures in person. The counties recently unveiled a new, free digital passport program that rewards visitors who check in with their mobile phones at each bridge. Those who visit 13 bridges will be mailed a free embroidered patch commemorating their journey and travelers who check in at all 25 bridges will be entered into a sizeable year-end prize drawing. A free printed driving tour map of the bridges is available as well, and can be requested from the Visitors Bureau’s website.
As one of the most iconic sights in the Central Pennsylvania countryside, covered bridges are a reminder of simpler times of days gone by. Pennsylvania has nearly 200 covered bridges still standing – the most in the United States. Covered bridges were created for a variety of reasons, but most related to the longevity of the bridge. Simply put, building a roof over the bridge would lengthen its lifespan by slowing the impact of wear and tear from weather and wood rot.
To learn more about the area’s historic bridges or the digital passport, please visit: itourcolumbiamontour.com/covered-bridges.

W hen summer rolls
around, it’s time to hit the water! Columbia & Montour Counties benefit from the Susquehanna River, which flows through the counties on its way to the Chesapeake Bay. This makes the area a prime kayaking destination. With ample boat launches and several nearby outfitters, it’s quite simple for anyone to enjoy some river time. Wildlife is abundant on the river - don’t be surprised if you take a paddle break and see a bald eagle soaring overhead. In addition to the river, there are several navigable creeks and streams throughout the counties. If you’ve got the proper licenses, you could even try some kayak fishing. Want a more relaxed paddle? Try one of the area lakes, where you won’t have to worry about coordinating a boat shuttle at the end of your paddle. Both Lake Chillisquaque at the Montour Preserve and Lake Jean at Ricketts Glen State Park offer seasonal kayak rentals, perfect for families looking for an easy option to get right on the water. Don’t have your own kayaks? Coordinate with one of the area’s outfitters to get set up with rental boats and assistance with launching. Never kayaked before? Be sure to read up on kayaking safety tips and procedures to make sure you have a safe journey: itourcolumbiamontour.com/timetokayak. When you’re ready to get paddling, be sure to request a free copy of the Susquehanna River Paddling Guide, which features various river itineraries. Find it at iTourColumbiaMontour.com under the “Request a Brochure” tab.

2022 TRAVEL GUIDE 29
Columbia & Montour Counties are home to some fantastic mountain biking options. In Montour County, Danville leads the way with more than 32 miles of mountain biking trail options, spread between the Geisinger Stewardship Forest, Hopewell Park, and Hess Recreation Area. With 11+ miles of established trails, Geisinger Hospital’s Stewardship Forest trail network is a popular destination for seasoned mountain bikers. Many of the trails are challenging, but rewarding. All are named using various medical terms, including Punctured Lung, Broken Clavicle, Life Flight, and Concussion. Sweeping views of downtown Danville, the Susquehanna River, and the surrounding countryside are an added bonus for trail users. Located just down the road from the Stewardship Forest, Hopewell Park was Montour County’s first purpose-built mountain bike trail network. Built by mountain bikers for mountain bikers, the Hopewell Park / Danville Borough Farm Trail network is designed to challenge experienced riders while still allowing beginners to enjoy a great day on the trail. Trail creators made use of the natural terrain, but added enough twists and turns to keep visitors coming back for more. In southern Columbia County, the Weiser State Forest – Roaring Creek Tract boasts 64 miles of shared-use trails and forest roads that are available for mountain biking. For cyclists searching for a relatively flat ride, an 8-mile, shared-use trail runs the length of the valley on the Roaring Creek Tract. This trail offers a leisurely trip through the scenic valley and runs alongside a creek and three reservoirs.
