Mount Ararat
About
Mount Ararat is a summit in Wayne County, in northeastern Pennsylvania, about 5.6 miles from the town of Union Dale. It is a named high point in the county. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. At a nearby weather station, Pleasant Mt 1 W, typical average highs reach about 77°F in July and ease to about 69°F in September. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures on top run cooler. Close by, the West Branch Lackawaxen River offers canoeing about 5.1 miles away. The O&W Trail, about 7.5 miles off, is a nearby hiking option.
