Stay comfortably in Shickshinny at a Bed & Breakfast. Originally a General Store built in the early 1800s. Later became a Teen House for the youth group of Bloomingdale Bible Church. The house sits on Bloomingdale Corners just outside of Sweet Valley and Shickshinny Lake. Just a short distance from Talen Energy/Susquehanna Nuclear & Rickett’s Glen State Park with 22 named waterfalls. There are many covered bridges throughout the area and across Pennsylvania. Several provide picnic tables making them a great stop for a picnic lunch. We can supply a picnic basket for you to fill for your adventure.
