Comfort Pond To Open For Fishing Pennsylvania American Water and the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission invite the public to attend a ribbon cutting and first-cast ceremony at the opening of Susquehanna County’s newest public access area, Comfort Pond on Thursday, June 5 starting at 6:30 p.m. There are few lakes or ponds open to public fishing in Susquehanna County. The Comfort Pond fishing access fills a void. The creation of this new, public fishing area was the result of a partnership between PA American Water Company and the Fish and Boat Commission. The Blue Ridge Sportsmen’s Club and local residents were also instrumental in helping to make this opportunity possible. “We are very fortunate in this area to benefit from our beautiful, natural resources as Comfort Pond,” stated Don Kessler, network manager, Pennsylvania American Water. “Pennsylvania American Water is proud to partner with the Fish and Boat Commission to offer residents of Susquehanna County access to fishing here along the shoreline.” The location will be at the new gravel parking area adjacent to Comfort Pond. This parking area is located off of State Route 171, between Lanesboro and Thompson in the Northeastern portion of the county. For questions on the event, contact Walt Dietz, Regional Education and Outreach Coordinator at (570) 477-2206 or wdietz@state.pa.us

The Parks family has been farming the land since 1864. Visit the animals on the farm – dairy cows, chickens, pigs, and even a few Hereford beef cows.

The Quest Center, Ananda Marga, between Brooklyn and Hop Bottom: The Quest Center has been active since 1990 as a retreat center dedicated to yoga, meditation and martial arts. Last year the center started a Community Garden that has produced fresh organic vegetables, which are donated to the local food bank. This year they wish to connect the garden produce with food processing. The certified kitchen at the center has started the production of granola bars with the goal of making the Quest Center a sustainable eco-village. Small solar panels are installed on one of the sheds.
