Things to Do in Milford, PA: A Perfect Day Itinerary
Tucked into Pike County along the Delaware River, Milford, PA is one of the most picturesque small towns in the state — tree-lined streets, preserved architecture, and the wild beauty of the Pocono Mountains right on its doorstep. If you’ve got a day to explore, here’s how to spend it, with the right fuel along the way.
Morning: coffee, then history
Start where the locals start — with an organic coffee at Better World on Broad Street. Grab a flat white and a gluten-free pastry, then walk into downtown Milford’s historic district. Two must-sees are close by: Grey Towers National Historic Site, the 1886 summer estate of the Pinchot family and home to Gifford Pinchot — Pennsylvania governor and founder of the US Forest Service — and the Columns Museum, which houses one of the country’s most remarkable artifacts: the flag President Lincoln was wrapped in the night he was shot.
Midday: chase a waterfall
You can walk almost straight from downtown into the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Don’t miss Raymondskill Falls, the tallest waterfall in Pennsylvania at a combined 150 feet — just a few feet shy of Niagara. If you’d rather stretch your legs, the McDade Trail, Milford Knob, and Cliff Trail all serve up river and ridge views.
Afternoon: refuel and refresh
All that fresh air earns you a stop back at our juice bar. A cold-pressed juice like Pine For You (pineapple, apple, mint, and lime) or an açaí bowl is exactly the reset you need before the drive home. Prefer something indulgent? Our floatte — an iced drink made with ice cream instead of ice — is a local secret.
Before you go: shop with purpose
Round out your day in our health food and sustainability store, where you’ll find organics, wholesome goods, vetted books, and toys made to last — much of it sourced as locally as possible. Every purchase helps us save Santos Farm from development and build a regenerative food forest for the community.
