DIRECTIONS TO FAULKNER
BROOK
If you are looking for a
great one day hike we
have just the ticket for
you! Faulkner Brook is a
primitive area just off
the Delaware River. It
is an easy one hour ride
from downtown Honesdale.
Jump in the car on a
nice sunny morning and
be on the shore of one
of two isolated
primitive lakes by late
morning or early
afternoon.
Once there, enjoy all
that Mother Nature
really has to offer you:
rolling streams, thick
deep woods, quiet and
solitude, and no
civilization for
miles.This area lies
within a protected
Pennsylvania State Game
Land that is open to the
public year -round. Be
aware that hunters do
use the area in-season.
The lake is off limits
to swimming and boats
with motors, but
fishing, canoeing, and
kayaking are permitted.
Picnicking is allowed in
the surrounding area so
bring a lunch and kick
back and enjoys the
birds, deer, fish, and
other abundant wildlife.
Spend the day and head
out when the suns starts
to sink. Remember, the
ride in is the only way
out and you will not hit
street lights until the
town of Hancock, NY.
