Campbell's Ledge, Natural landmark in Duryea, Pennsylvania, United States
The 700-foot cliff formation rises above the Susquehanna River, providing expansive views stretching thirty miles across the Wyoming Valley landscape.
Early settlers named this location Dial Rock as the sunlight illuminating the cliff face at noon made it function as a natural timekeeper.
Native American tales and local stories attribute the name to a man named Campbell who chose death by jumping from the ledge rather than capture.
Visitors can access the ledge by following Red Oak Road from Coxton Road, though the steep terrain requires appropriate hiking preparation and footwear.
The cliff contains abandoned mine shafts, now secured with fencing, while the surrounding area supports diverse wildlife including bears, hawks, and white-tailed deer.
