Description:
The spring has a great history of being a supplier of ice back in the day when the railroads still ran in this area . Ricketts Glen offers cool hiking trails plus about 13 waterfalls on an 8 mile trail . Lake Jean is a fabulous Lake at the top of the Mountain that has an island in the middle. It has a beach and offers swimming ,Kyaking , canoeing , camping etc….The surronding areas offer some great antique shops where I have purchased several glass 5 gallon jugs for water or wine . Summer or fall is the best time to visit here . There are plenty of road side vegie stands and yard sales . I grew in the valley below Mt. Springs and know the woods there fairly well . My husband and I would be more than happy be your guide should you ever have the opportunity to travel to this area.
