Explore Wilkes-Barre, PA

Along the Susquehanna, Wilkes-Barre, PA anchors the Wyoming Valley, an anthracite-era city whose hospital base serves the communities strung up and down the river corridor. Travel demand here runs through emergency and cardiac units, with Scranton's market twenty minutes north effectively widening the contract map. The cost of housing ranks among Pennsylvania's most forgiving, and the riverfront common at Kirby Park puts trails and summer festivals at the city's front door. The F.M. Kirby Center books a steady calendar of touring shows in its restored movie-palace splendor. The Pocono ridges rise just east for hiking and winter skiing, and both Philadelphia and New York wait roughly two hours out, one due south and one east, bracketing the big-city weekends.
