White Mills, PA

Set along the Lackawaxen River in Wayne County, White Mills is a small, scenic community nestled right between Honesdale and Hawley. The town got its start in the 1800s as a hub for sawmills and later became famous for its Dorflinger glassworks, a heritage that still lingers in its historic properties and quiet riverside setting. Surrounded by rolling hills and dense woods, it offers the peaceful backdrop of a classic Pocono mountain village.

For anyone moving to the area, White Mills provides plenty of breathing room alongside everyday convenience. Route 6 runs right through town, putting you within a ten-minute drive of the grocery stores, cafes, and hospital in Honesdale, while Hawley and Lake Wallenpaupack are just as close to the south for weekend boating and dining. With trout fishing along the river and walking trails at the local wildlife sanctuary, it is an easy place to settle into if you want rural charm without feeling isolated.
