• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, you can take the Martz Trailways bus service from various locations in the Pocono Mountains to the nearest bus stop in White Haven, PA. Once you arrive in White Haven, you will need to arrange for a taxi or rideshare service, as public transportation options to the park are limited. The park is about a 10-minute drive from the bus stop, so ensure you have contact information for local taxi services or a rideshare app downloaded on your phone before your trip.

• Bicycle

  If you're feeling adventurous and are near a bike-friendly area, you can bike to Hickory Run State Park from surrounding towns. Use local trails leading to the park, such as the Lehigh Gorge Trail. Ensure your bike is in good condition and carry a map, as some routes can be less marked. It's about a 10-mile ride from nearby areas like Jim Thorpe or White Haven. Always wear a helmet and be mindful of traffic on the roads.
