Widnoon Soft Serve (Redbank Valley Rail Trail, Scripture Rocks Heritage Park, Panxsutawney, Bilger’s Rocks)

July 8, 2023

Widnoon Soft Serve, Widnoon, Pennsylvania This was our second stop on our Scooped Ice Cream Trail challenge. Widnoon has only soft serve – vanilla, chocolate, twist and a special flavor each day – today it was peanut butter.

The customer in front of me got a small Turtle Sundae which looked huge and tasty. I decided to copy her so when I stepped up to the window, I ordered a small Turtle Sundae. Don ordered a milkshake.

Their slogan is ‘Where portions are big and prices are small’. When they said big portions, they were not kidding! A customer in front of us got the biggest soft serve cone I have ever seen – enough for two hungry people.

There was a spacious lawn on the side of the building with plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy your ice cream.
