Traveler advice
Getting around
Take a walk directly from the house
For an easy bucolic walk simply head down Scudder Hill Rd towards Hwy 30, cross the road, and continue down River Rd. After about 1.5 miles you'll be in Halcottsville and can turn around. It also makes a really nice 5k loop if you are into running.
