Nay Aug Park — Attraction in Scranton

Nay Aug is a natural beauty. BUT the old people who think it's their private park will ruin the experience. You will be under very high surveillance from the moment of arrival to leaving. The will walk right up to your car and stare in your windows, they will run drug sniffing dogs around you and your car. There are signs "no loitering" .... Ummm isn't that exactly what a PUBLIC PARK is for? Yes you must be out of you car and march in goose-step fashion around the park. If you have physical issues and think you can peacefully sit in your car listening to music or reading... Yeah forget it. There is no such activities allowed. Even if you use a porta potty you will be greeted by a surveillance team fully equipped with drug sniffing dogs. Upon returning to Nay Aug. The surveillance\stalking teams continue even stepping things up a notch. Even after moving to a different end of the park and parking near a very incredibly hard to climb cliff edge. The stalkers actually went so far as climbing up a 15 foot vertical cliff to peek in the back window of my car. Must give a 10 star rating on surveillance. Even if you try going to a spot where nobody is within minutes they WILL come crawling out of the woods to ruin the day. So with no further ado. I recommend staying far from Nay Aug if you want a relaxing time. Because at no time while there did I not feel the persistent watching by the stalking team for whatever reason I don't know. Also I forgot to mention there is a 3 hour limit to enjoy the stalking and harassment of the "natural beauty" that is nay...

Nay Aug Park in Scranton, Pennsylvania, is a hidden gem for nature lovers and families alike. With free parking and easy access, the park offers an enjoyable day out for visitors of all ages. Adjacent to the park is a museum that provides an intriguing glimpse into Pennsylvania's natural and indigenous history, making it a great educational stop before or after your time in the park.

As you explore Nay Aug, you'll come across old coal mine entrances and carts, a nod to the region's rich coal mining past. The main attraction, however, is the park's stunning trails, waterfalls, and cliffs. Despite its size, the park feels private, even on busier days, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the scenery.

The trails themselves are moderately challenging due to uneven terrain and inclines, but they reward you with breathtaking views, scenic bridges, and a unique “Pavilion in the Sky” where you can enjoy panoramic vistas. For families with children, the park also features a decent-sized playground to keep the little ones entertained.

Overall, Nay Aug Park offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, history, and recreation, making it an ideal destination for a day of adventure...

This park used to be soooo nice but it really has gone down hill. There is nothing to do there anymore. They only have a smaller playground. They took out the big wooden playground that was at the back of the park. The zoo/sanctuary has been gone for years. Even the tree house overlook is not in use. This park used to be soooo nice to take your kids to on the weekend and now it's gone to hell. And now that there is nothing to do there we are going to see an increase in trespassing and injuries at the gorge, there was already someone just this weekend that had to be rescued. The Everhart Museum also, there's nothing to it anymore. Well unless you like stuffed birds, which I guess is kinda cool seeing all the different species of birds, glass from the 1700 & 1800's, and paintings. My kids were not impressed. And the bees are gone! Everything has just gone down hill and now one of the pools are not opening this year! There needs to be something done there really is nothing for kids and family's to do in the city, especially that doesn't...
