What to do in Wayne County PA
The Hotel Wayne has been steeped in the history of Wayne County. Think about it. When the Hotel Wayne was built, America was only a litte over 50 years old, and Honesdale and Wayne County have had a significant impact on the American Experience.
While staying at the Hotel Wayne, plan to visit some of the attractions, many within easy walking distance of the hotel.
Wayne County Pennsylvania has some of the best hunting and fishing in the state! Small streams abound with Trout. Bass and Pickerel can be found in publicly accessible lakes and rivers. For newbees to fishing, outfitters and local guides can help provide a memorable experience for the entire family.
Thousands of acres of State Game Lands support a large population of Whitetail Deer, Grouse and Black Bear. Book your reservations early because Hotel Wayne is in easy reach of some of the best hunting areas. Hunting and fishing information is available locally, or online.
