Laceyville - A Susquehanna Greenway River Town

Laceyville

Laceyville has the distinction of being the first town on the North Branch to be designated a Susquehanna Greenway River Town in 2008. In 1779, Sullivan’s Army traveled through Laceyville, opening up the area for settlers to move in and develop. Today, the town is a stopping point for camping, food, and entertainment as paddlers enjoy their Susquehanna River adventures and travelers explore PA Route 6.

This quaint river town is one of the many great stops to make while exploring the Susquehanna River Water Trail North Branch. It is surrounded by the rolling green hills and vast farm fields of the Endless Mountains and has its own boat access to the Susquehanna River. In the early 1800s, roads were built along Native American paths and canals were constructed for transporting goods along the river. Railroads soon replaced these canals, and the Laceyville Rail Station helped the town grow into what it is today.

When stopping in Laceyville, be sure to check out The Oldest House, built in the 1780s and thought to be one of the oldest frame dwellings of four northeastern PA counties. It is owned by Oldest House-Laceyville Area Historical Society and is now open for tours and special events.
