It's time for your Week 5 Fall Foliage Report! 🍁🍂

The continued pattern of warm days followed by cold nights and frosty mornings is continuing to transform southern Pennsylvania’s forests into a mosaic of fall color. With minimal winds helping to extend the peak in many counties, fantastic autumn shades are now visible from the middle and southern Appalachians to the southern Alleghenies and deep into the forests of southeastern PA.

As fall foliage season winds down, this weekend may be the last great opportunity to soak in the wonderful colors across a large portion of Penn’s Woods.

Walking History & Nature Tour
Tobyhanna No. 2 and No. 3 Icehouses – Tobyhanna State Park
Coolbaugh Township Historical Association & Tobyhanna State Park
Sunday, April 12 at 2:00 PM

The Coolbaugh Township Historical Association in partnership with Tobyhanna State Park is sponsoring a walking history and nature tour of the remains of Icehouses No. 2 and No. 3 at Tobyhanna State Park, led by Bill Leonard from the CTHA and Stephanie Sherman, Environmental Education Specialist from the Tobyhanna State Park. The State Park was once the site of two huge icehouses about a century ago. Today, only portions of the foundations and the railroad spur that serviced the icehouses remain. Participants will hear the history of the area surrounding the State Park, including the lumbering era, the Tobyhanna Military Reservation, the ice industry, and the natural history of the State Park.

The walk will be approximately 2 miles and is considered easy in difficulty. The tour will begin at the Tobyhanna State Park boat launch parking lot.
