Frances Slocum State Park

This Park is named for Frances Slocum, who as a young girl was kidnapped by American Indians. She was only five years old when she was kidnapped. As the American Indians moved westward they took her with them and she spent the rest of her life with them. These Indians settled in Indiana and 59 years after her abduction she was located on a reservation near Peru, Indiana. She died in 1847 at the age of 74. There is a recreational area in Indiana called the Frances Slocum State Recreational Area and Lost Sister Trail.

Knoebels Amusement Resort

Click on any photo to enlarge image.

I've included this amusement park on my site because it is a great place to visit for the entire family. It is located on PA 487 between Elysburg & Catawissa.

The great thing about this park is that admission is free, parking is free, free picnic facilities, and free entertainment. The food is good and reasonably priced. In fact it was voted best amusement park food in the world.

One of the wooden roller coasters, called the Phoenix, was voted third best wooden coaster in the world shown in the first photo. The second photo is the Twister and it is a great wooden coaster also.

The third photo shows only a small portion of the park due to the fact that there are many trees within the park. Lots of places to get out of the sun which makes those sweltering days a little more bearable.

One entire corner of the park is rides for the kids and there are plenty for them to enjoy. They will love this place. There is also a kiddie pool for them located near the water rides.

Nearby is Knoebles Three Ponds golf course and two campgrounds as well.

I think this is great family park. For information on hours, dates of operation, and driving directions call 800-487-4386. For information about the campgrounds call 570-672-9555.
