Recreation

Greater Hazleton is the perfect place for people who have a deep appreciation for the outdoors and love to experience all four seasons.

Whether you enjoy skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, golf, whitewater rafting fishing, hiking, or biking, there are many resorts, golf courses, lakes and trails across the region for you to experience the great outdoors. You can also take advantage of the 17 state parks spread throughout Northeast and Central Pennsylvania.

If you prefer to watch sports, Greater Hazleton is a short drive from the semi-professional Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins hockey team and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders baseball team, as well as auto racing action at Pocono Raceway and the site of the Little League World Series in Williamsport.
