Most people probably think of one place, Pine Creek Gorge, when they hear Grand Canyon in Pennsylvania. That’s because that natural wonder is known as the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.

The largest park in Scranton, Nay Aug Park spans 73 acres and draws visitors for its many amenities – from a hiking trail and a swimming pool to a treehouse and a waterfall.
