Lakeview Nature Center is your starting point for discovering and exploring God’s incredible creation! The Nature Center is adjacent to Spruce Lodge on the lower level of Lakeview Program Center.

Experience Nature!

Take a Walk or Hike

God has entrusted us with a priceless treasure! We are situated at the headwaters of the Brodhead Watershed, which springs from the top of Spruce Mountain and flows south to the Delaware River that forms the border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. From the vista on Spruce Mountain Trail, you can see the “V” on the horizon where this River cuts through the hills.

We invite you to walk or hike on any of our seven paths or trails, and see the beauty of God’s creation across our 900+ acres. Varying in length and terrain, there is a trail for practically everyone.
