Parryville, PA

Parryville is a small, quiet borough in southern Carbon County, sitting right where Pohopoco Creek meets the Lehigh River. Located along Route 248 between Palmerton and Bowmanstown, it is only about six miles south of Jim Thorpe. The town originally grew around a late-18th-century gristmill and early river transport. Today, it has settled into a peaceful residential community surrounded by green hills and scenic waterways.
