There are Several Things to do In Milford PA This Spring
While winter is still going strong here in Hawley PA we are looking forward to the coming of spring. There is nothing like the Pocono Mountains in the spring. Our flowers come out to bloom and the trees start budding flowers and leaves. When we at Ledges Hotel have visitors in the spring, the one activity that we all recommend to them is to get outside. We have all been cooped up all winter and now it’s time to go outside. There are many outdoor activities to do around us but one of our favorite things to do is to go to Milford PA.

Our next recommendation of things to do in Milford PA is to head to Dingmans Falls. This can be easily accessed by bike from Milford. When you get there, be sure to head over and get a brochure about the area and check out any exhibits about the area that may be available.

Because of the boardwalk, it makes this area perfect for the whole family to enjoy. Once you get to the falls, admire the 130’ drop and just stay and explore the area a bit.
