If you’re not so sure about facing the punching wall just yet, leap over the twister or walk on the log roll. See how far you can make it across the log before falling off.

Beth Price-Williams

Summer just goes by too quickly, doesn't it? Before we know it, we'll be watching back-to-school commercials and getting ready for autumn. Then we'll blink, and it'll be time to glide down our favorite mountain in a snow tube. That means we've got to pack a ton of fun into a few short months. If you're looking for something fun to do in the summer in our great state, check out summer tubing in Pennsylvania! Today, we're featuring a downhill adventure at Blue Lightning Tubing in East Stroudsburg that's an absolute blast.

Get ready for non-stop excitement as you soar down one of two slides at Blue Lightning Tubing in East Stroudsburg. It's one of the best outdoor family activities in Pennsylvania.

Settle into your tube, then zip 400 breathtaking feet down the slide. Then turn around; climb on the magic carpet for the ride back to the top of the hill, and do it all over again!

Blue Lightning boasts two slides that promise thrills, both under the summer sun and during the snowy days of winter, with its all-year downhill tubing track.

This is the ultimate destination for both snow and summer tubing in Pennsylvania.

Before you head out on your epic adventure, make sure everyone in your party is at least four years old and between 40 and 78 inches tall.

Adventurers of all ages must complete a waiver. If you're bringing the kiddos, you'll need to fill out a waiver for them, too.

Each ticket is good for an hour of fun. Summer tubing is such a fun activity that feels a little weird the first time you do it - after all, most of us associate downhill tubing with wintertime.

alt

All it will take is one trip down the hill and you'll be having a blast, though! Hours vary throughout the year, and note that the last ticket is sold one hour prior to closing time.

A Rail Trail Runs Through This Pennsylvania Town And It’s The Ultimate Outdoor Playground

Explore the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail in Pennsylvania, a 14-mile scenic path perfect for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.

Updated Jul 9, 2024

We have some pretty amazing places to explore in the 21st century. Many of the former railroad lines have been transformed into rail trails, scenic paths that allow us to walk, hike, or bike. Some are short, some are long, but they all offer a unique glimpse at the state's landscape. When you follow this rail trail in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, you might also want to explore beyond the trail. Let's take a look at this hiking and biking trail in Pennsylvania.

The Lebanon Valley Rail Trail wanders through Lebanon County, traveling from Colebrook to Lebanon. Along the way, it also passes through Mt. Gretna and Cornwall.

This is one of those rather short rail trails, tallying just over 14 miles, making it easily doable in less than five hours. You don’t have to hike, bike, or ride your horse along the whole trail, though.

The flat trail features plenty of shaded areas, although you’ll still want to bring plenty of water and sunscreen.

Wear a pair of comfy shoes or hiking boots, too.

Whether you start or end in Lebanon, carve out some time to explore the outdoor areas in this bustling town. Travel right outside of the city limits, for example, to Stoevers Dam Park.

The 153-acre Pennsylvania park offers something for everyone, from canoeing on the 23.5-acre lake to wildlife watching. Bring your camera because you’re likely to see some of the park’s residents – rabbits, grey-horned owls, and deer among them.

Six miles from the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail and 15 miles from Lebanon, Swatara State Park is an outdoor playground all on its own. Spanning 3,515 acres, the Pennsylvania state park boasts a ton of activities all year round.

Don’t let the cold and snow deter you, either. This Pennsylvania state park is popular with cross-country skiers during the winter.

Whatever time you visit this rail trail in Ohio is the best time.
