Wilkes-Barre is a city located in the Wyoming Valley in northeastern Pennsylvania. It is traversed by the Susquehanna River and is surrounded by vast expanses of hilly and mountainous terrain. Not apt for farming, these lands are managed by the Pennsylvania Game Commission and are open for limited hunting, fishing and trapping. The fortunes of Wilkes-Barre historically lie in the coal mining industry. In the 19th century, the city attracted thousands of immigrants with the prospect of job opportunities in the local coal mines. Today, the city’s growth is spurred by a strong manufacturing and retail sector. You can visit Seven Tubs Nature Area, where you can enjoy magnificent views of the falls. Seeped in history and natural beauty, the place is surely worth a visit. Check out the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
