Set inside the gorgeous Pocono Mountain region of Pennsylvania is the small town of Hawley. You may ask, why you should have this town on your day-trip radar. My answer? Experiencing the Pennsylvania Rail Bike adventure!

Located at the Hawley Train Station, visitors can have a recreational adventure using electric rail bikes in tandem or quad-seat configurations. Bikes also have pedals, and guests start with all the rail bikes connected, so everyone pedals together to get through town. Once your group is away from the main roads, the guides unhook each car to space everyone out.

Keeping a safe distance, guests take in the scenery and enjoy the roughly five miles of track to the halfway point. We had the chance to hop off the bikes, stretch our legs, and use the porta-potty while the team switches the direction of the seats for the return journey. These guys were pros and took care of everything, ensuring we had a great experience.

Along the journey out and back, we saw gorgeous scenery. Although peak fall colors were in full bloom a week or two before we arrived in Hawley, we still appreciated the beautiful Fall day.

If you find yourself in the Pocono area, make a stop in Hawley, PA. It’s charming and it offers a very unique experience.
