Vistas

Wyalusing Township invites you to enjoy some of Pennsylvania's most scenic vistas. The Wyalusing Rocks offers a spectacular view of the Susquehanna River Valley, featuring rolling farmlands and forests of Terry and Asylum Townships. The Marie Antoinette Overlook is an equally breathtaking panorama of the Susquehanna, including historic French Asylum, the would-be home of Queen Marie Antoinette and her husband, Louis XVI, and site of the historic Laporte House today. The Friedenshutten Monument, located near Rt. 6, marks the site of an early Moravian mission village. Wyalusing Township is a favorite spot for deer hunters. Also, smallmouth bass fishing can be enjoyed in the Wyalusing Creek.

Standing Stone, "Achsin-Nink"

It is 16 feet wide and four feet thick. Early settlers told of finding covered with Indian drawings. In 1779, General John Sullivan and one-third of the American army marched through Bradford County. He ordered that a shot from the morning gun be fired at the stone. This shot blew off the uppermost corner.

Wilmot Township
