A Peaceful Preserve in the Poconos

The Pomeroy McMichaels Creek Nature Preserve in Stroudsburg is a 70-acre property that’s perfect for a walk in the woods. The Pocono Heritage Land Trust manages the preserve, which is adjacent to Hickory Valley Park and Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm.

Take a hike through the preserve to spot interesting rock formations and native songbirds. The preserve is home to diverse plant habitats, so the wildflower blooms are a must-see in the spring.

The preserve encompasses about a half-mile of McMichaels Creek, which offers spots for fishing. The creek is also suitable for kayaking.
