About White Haven
Tucked along the Lehigh River in Luzerne County, White Haven got its start in the 1800s as a bustling transport hub for the region's coal industry. While the early canals and heavy trains have faded into the past, that history helped shape the town's character and left behind a distinct landscape of wooded rail trails and riverfront views.
For anyone considering a move, White Haven delivers a quiet, small-town atmosphere with exceptional outdoor access. It serves as the northern entrance to Lehigh Gorge State Park, putting biking on the D&L Trail, hiking, and whitewater rafting right in your backyard. Families are served by the Crestwood School District, and thanks to quick access to Interstate 80 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, you can easily commute roughly twenty minutes north to Wilkes-Barre or explore the broader Pocono region.
