Peaceful Swim of the Swans



These swans are so beautiful. They are enjoying a swim in the creek at Knoebels Grove amusement resort at 391 Knoebels Blvd. Elysburg,Pa.17824. This creek I believe that runs through the park is roaring creek. I runs under the foot bridges. The Swans really love to swim up and down here and there are also some types of fish in here also. We like to look for them as we are crossing the bridges to get from one side of the park to the other side. There is also another body of water here called Mugser Run which flows by the crystal pool area.


The day I took this picture was at the family reunion. It was wonderful weather this day. The sun was out and we had a slight wind as you can see from the water ripples. We were walking over the bridge when I spotted the Swans having a leisurely swim. They are so beautiful swimming together and it is such a peaceful and calming scene.


This is a great place for young and old alike. If you don't want to go on any rides that's just fine. You can just walk around and take in all the sights. At night it is fun to see all the different colorful lights that are on the rides. You can take your pick of what to eat, there is a lot to choose from. If your ever in this neck of the woods check it out, it's a lot of fun for the whole family.

1926 Ford Model TT

 
 
Here is a 1926 Ford Model TT Truck. It is at Knoebels Amusement Resort. Address is 391 Knoebels Blvd. Elysburg,Pa.17824. The two pictures of this truck take you back to a time of different memories. The side of the truck where the sign is says, “ This vehicle is one similar to those used by Park patrons at the time of Knoebels' first season. Many enjoyable drives in the summer of 1926 lead to blanket picnics near the new pool.” It must have been amazing back in those days. It kept changing and evolving. Now today this truck sits as a reminder of what once was. Knoebels is a fascinating place today for families to enjoy, there are rides for both young and old alike. Just to mention a few of the rides: Goin Buggy, Hand Cars, Kiddie Boat Ride, Wipeout, Pioneer Train, Giant Wheel, Haunted Mansion, Cosmotron, Giant Flume, Skloosh, Phoenix Roller Coaster, Bumper Boats, Tea Cups, Merry Mixer, and those are just a few of the rides. It's a wonderful place to go. Very family oriented. They have shows, both for children, and they have concerts, many a good singer I've seen there. They have magic shows. They have a Mining Museum which is free of charge. It is a tribute to the anthracite coal mining industry. This park still has a swimming pool. It has games you can play in the arcade. Many fabulous places that you can get something to eat. Pizza, sodas, ice cream, waffles, and the list goes on. They have pavilions which you can rent out for family reunions or for work picnics, etc. You can have birthday parties there as well. They have a camping site, if you're into camping.
