Each region of Northeastern Pennsylvania, though unique in many respects, claims a rich history, a multitude of culturally vibrant cities and towns, vast and pristine natural spaces and no shortage of proud, happy people.
NEPA’s Valley Communities cover Lackawanna, Luzerne, Columbia and Schuylkill Counties. The region is divided into 12 unique areas and claims some of NEPA’s largest cities. All of the communities lie within the iconic Wyoming Valley, known for its pivotal role during Pennsylvania’s anthracite-fueled industrial boom of the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, the Valley Communities Region enjoys its place as the cultural and economic heart of Northeastern Pennsylvania.

The region, mostly known for seemingly-endless rolling mountains, dense green forests and hundreds of cool, clean lakes, boasts one of the largest combined areas of recreational tourism in the state.

The Endless Mountains Region is home to Susquehanna and Wyoming Counties. This quieter, largely rural region offers a perfect balance between scenic wilderness and quaint, historic towns. The region features mountain views for miles, and the meandering Susquehanna River flows through its southern corner offering endless seasonal recreation. Stretches of rural farmland, tree-lined downtowns and long, winding roads make the Endless Mountains the ideal location for scenic road trips.
