On your way into Jim Thorpe, the memorial is right on Rt. 903 on your right hand side. It is rather interesting; however, the kids were bored. The adults enjoyed learning the history of our second home away from home.

Awesome for paintball and white water rafting. Check out the moonlight rafting tours (minimum age requirement). They do offer family rafting for families with smaller children. Dam release weekends are your best bet for a little more adventure.
