Benton balances small-town ease with big-outdoors energy, set amid the rolling landscape of Columbia County. Daily conveniences come without the rush, while larger hubs like Bloomsburg, Berwick, and Danville are an easy drive for work, shopping, and healthcare.
Outdoor enthusiasts are spoiled for choice. Just up the road, the tumbling waterfalls and old-growth forests of Ricketts Glen State Park invite year-round adventure, from waterfall hikes to winter ice climbing, with details and trail maps available through the official Ricketts Glen State Park website. Anglers and paddlers gravitate to Fishing Creek’s clear water, and golfers tee off at the wooded fairways of the Mill Race Golf & Camping Resort. Summer brings the roar of the Benton Rodeo, a nationally recognized event with a full slate of rodeo performances, parades, and family activities that turn town into a weeklong celebration.
Families appreciate the close-knit feel of the Benton Area School District, where classroom sizes and community support encourage student involvement in academics, arts, and athletics. Local eateries, seasonal farm stands, and community festivals add a friendly rhythm to the calendar, while four seasons of scenery make backyard time as appealing as weekend road trips.
