Peckville blends river-town serenity with quick connections to city amenities. Set along the Lackawanna River within Blakely Borough, it’s minutes from Scranton and neighboring Archbald, with easy commuting on the Casey Highway. Weekend routines often start on the scenic Lackawanna River Heritage Trail, a local favorite for cycling, running, and fishing courtesy of the Lackawanna Heritage Valley. Community life centers on the Blakely Borough Recreation Complex, with fields, courts, and seasonal events supported by Blakely Borough. For a quick dose of geology and fresh air, the dramatic glacial pothole at Archbald Pothole State Park is just up the road.
Families appreciate the strong K–12 options in the Valley View School District, known for academics, arts, and Cougars athletics. The Valley Community Library anchors lifelong learning with storytimes, clubs, and maker activities. Healthcare is close-by, including advanced services at Geisinger Community Medical Center. In Lackawanna County, four-season recreation, local festivals, and small businesses give everyday errands a friendly, familiar rhythm.
