Explore the Town of Milford: Road Trips to the Poconos

Morning: Once arriving in Milford, start your day off exploring downtown. Walking Tours of Historic Milford are self-guided tours you can enjoy at your own pace. Stroll the streets and learn about the town's history with markers and museums like the Columns Museum. 

Afternoon: Get some food at Apple Valley Restaurant. Just off the main street, they feature American-style cuisine in a friendly atmosphere in addition to their gift shops and Koi pond. 

Evening: While visiting, you must experience the farm-to-table fine dining scene. Maintaining a culinary legacy since the late 18th century, The Delmonico Room at the Hotel Fauchere continues to innovate their menu and create delicious dishes. These signature plates are often seasonally crafted with locally sourced ingredients. 

When you're finished with your meal, check in to your room upstairs at the Hotel Fauchere. The Harrington House is also located downtown, and is another option to book in town to stay close to the action. 

Morning: Visit nearby Bushkill Falls and the Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC). Bushkill Falls features eight waterfalls throughout its hiking trails in addition to gold mining, maze running, mini golfing and paddle boating activities. PEEC not only has its own trails and waterfalls, but they also host workshops, events and guided tours during the year.

Afternoon: Make your way back to Milford and refuel at Bar Louis at the Hotel Fauchere. They offer a creative yet classic menu, which is known for its sushi pizza.

Evening: Choose from three different activities with Kittatinny Canoes on water, land or air. Open until 8 p.m., you can whitewater raft, canoe or kayak on the Delaware River, play paintball, or take to the dual zip lines which are one of the largest zip lines in the country! Be sure to call ahead and make your reservation to guarantee your spot. 

Ran by Kittatinny Canoes, River Beach Campsites is located along the scenic Delaware River. Offering tents, cabins and RV sites, pick your campsite and relax among nature with a fire and some s'mores. 

Morning: Start your historic day off with a visit to where American conservation took root; Grey Towers National Historic Landmark. Self-guided tours of the grounds are available year-round from sunrise to sunset. 

Afternoon: Take a self-guided tour of the Upper Mill, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and still turns today. You can even sit and observe the mill through glass walls while eating at the Waterwheel Cafe Bakery and Bar.

Evening: As you leave Milford, try to make a stop at the Roebling Aqueduct Bridge. This is oldest wire-suspension bridge in the country and is designated as both a National Historic Landmark and National Civil Engineering Landmark. Less than 20 miles from Milford, the bridge is located on the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River - perfect for a vacation photo opt.
