This one-of-a-kind outdoor experience lets you pedal custom-built electric railbikes along a historic railroad track, offering unforgettable views of the natural beauty and small-town charm that define this beloved destination.
Your railbiking journey begins in the picturesque town of Hawley, where you’ll set off along a scenic track that winds through dense forests, across quiet countryside, and alongside the tranquil Lackawaxen River. You’ll even catch glimpses of Hawley’s historic downtown and other hidden corners of the region that are best seen from the rails.
Pennsylvania Rail Bike’s comfortable, electric-assisted railbikes come in two options—tandem (2-seater) and quad (4-seater)—making it easy for couples, families, and friends to enjoy the ride together. Two excursion options are available to suit your schedule and adventure level:
- 10-Mile Ride (Approx. 2 hours) – A scenic, leisurely ride perfect for families or first-time railbikers.
- 20-Mile Ride (Approx. 3.5–4 hours) – A longer, more immersive experience for those looking to explore more of the landscape.
Every ride is led by experienced tour guides stationed at the front and back of the group. Once underway, you’re free to spread out and set your own pace, soaking in the sights at your leisure. The rides go out rain or shine, so dress appropriately and bring essentials like water, snacks, sunscreen, and insect repellent. Closed-toe shoes are required.
Open seasonally from summer through fall, Pennsylvania Rail Bike is a must-try for both visitors and locals. Make memories, enjoy nature, and experience the Poconos in an entirely new way. Visit their website or Facebook page for hours, details, and reservations.
