Pike County

Pike County stretches across 547 square miles of northeastern Pennsylvania, featuring the Delaware River, numerous lakes, and extensive forested areas within the Allegheny Plateau.

The county, established in 1814, received its name from Zebulon Montgomery Pike, a United States Army officer who conducted expeditions through the American frontier.

Grey Towers estate in Milford represents the legacy of Gifford Pinchot, who established the Yale Summer School of Forestry and influenced national forest management policies.

The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area offers hiking trails, waterfalls, and outdoor activities throughout all seasons for visitors and residents.

Pike County contains the Roebling Aqueduct, constructed in 1848, which stands as the oldest wire suspension bridge structure in the United States.
