Dunmore: Murals, History and Recreation

Dunmore brings together several reasons to visit that are distinct for travel planning: murals around town, the Dunmore Number 1 Reservoir Trail, Lost Trails ATV Park, and attractions with a historical connection. This makes it possible to choose Dunmore based on a specific reason for visiting, then consider your journey and individual destinations separately.

Getting Here and Finding Your Way Around

Dunmore borders Scranton. From the Borough of Dunmore, Interstate 81 and Interstates 380 and 84 are easy to reach. Scranton provides a nearby point of reference, while the three interstates round out the picture with road connections to the borough. If you’re looking for accommodations, you can separate the general choice of location from the question of which specific sights or activities you’d like to visit.

Trail, Murals and The Tunnel

The Dunmore Number 1 Reservoir Trail officially opened on November 9, 2010. Parking and access are located on Dunda Drive near Five Star Equipment. This gives you a specific arrival point for the trail. As access information can change, check it before your visit.

Along the Lackawanna County Mural Trail, visitors can discover colorful murals throughout Dunmore. One mural in Dunmore depicts a train emerging from a tunnel at Nay Aug Falls. Both aspects help characterize the trail: the murals throughout town and the specific train scene described here. If public art is important to your travel plans, you can consider this scene a distinctive point of interest.

The Tunnel is a special experience at Lost Trails ATV Park. Along with the murals and the Reservoir Trail, it offers another local highlight to consider when planning your trip. The themes are distinct: the Mural Trail showcases colorful images around town, while The Tunnel is part of Lost Trails ATV Park. If you’d like to plan your stay around a particular activity, you can weigh these interests separately.

History and Remembrance

A tank memorial on Blakely Street in Dunmore commemorates all wars and times of peace. At the Dunmore Cemetery Tour, costumed performers bring the history of the Lackawanna Valley to life. The two attractions present history in different ways: the memorial offers a specific place of remembrance, while the tour portrays the history of the Lackawanna Valley through performers. If the tour is a deciding factor in your trip, check whether dates are available during your travel period.

Choosing Dunmore for Your Stay

If you have a specific attraction in mind, check the latest access information for the Reservoir Trail or tour dates in advance. This lets you match your hotel search to the focus of your trip without making a single activity the benchmark for every visitor.
