ortheast Pennsylvania is a land of contrasts. One of the fastest growing areas of the state, the region is dominated by flourishing forests; yet, under the tree canopy, building of condos, lakeside homes, and vacation cabins surges ahead. In all four seasons the scenic wilds attract visitors to ski and tube, bike and hike, kayak and canoe, or hunt and camp.
In Pennsylvania's Northeast: Poconos, Endless Mountains, and Urban Centers, you will enjoy the state parks, forests and game lands. You will learn from the area's history, which provided an engine for America's industrialization; as well as appreciate its cities, that engender the arts. From Bradford County in the west to Pike County in the east, the book also includes Carbon, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming counties.
With 185 color photographs by award-winning photographer Blair Seitz and nine essays by one of Pennsylvania's eminent writers, Ruth Hoover Seitz, this extraordinary book portrays the excitement and beauty of the region which conservationists scurry to protect as some of our nation's most treasured wild habitat.
