Herrick Center rewards residents with quiet country roads, open skies, and quick connections to year-round recreation. Set in Susquehanna County, it sits a short drive from the small-town conveniences of Forest City, trailheads around Union Dale, and the shops and services in Carbondale. Routes 171 and 374 make commuting to Scranton straightforward while keeping home life wonderfully unhurried.
Outdoors enthusiasts find plenty to love. The celebrated D&H Rail-Trail offers miles of crushed-stone riding and walking via the Rail-Trail Council of NEPA’s D&H Rail-Trail. Winter brings expert-caliber skiing and lessons at Elk Mountain Ski Resort, while anglers and paddlers explore nearby Prompton State Park. Hunters appreciate access to area habitats within the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s State Game Lands.
Families value the strong public-school foundation provided by the Forest City Regional School District, with arts, athletics, and technology programs that punch above the area’s size. Weekend learning and community programs are close at hand through the Susquehanna County Library, and everyday needs are supported by responsive services from the county government.
Whether you’re seeking a base for four-season adventure or a quieter place with room to grow, Herrick Center delivers small-community living with regional access and a genuine sense of place.
