Campbell's Ledge
Campbell's Ledge is a geographical feature in Duryea, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. It is about above sea level. It is located about south of the center of the nearby Campbell's Ledge Reservoir. It features a multipurpose antenna for emergency services. History There are two stories for the name. A legend claims that a man named Campbell is chased by hostile Native Americans to the ledge, and, rather than risk capture, he jumps off.

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission says it is also known as "Dial Rock"; early settlers used it as a sundial, as the face of the cliff illuminates at noon.

On a clear day, you can see approximately a 30-mile stretch of the Wyoming Valley, which is cut by the Susquehanna River directly below the ledge. It is listed as one of the stops on the Susquehanna River Water Trail, North Branch. The cliff faces south and a bit west, so it doesn't catch the morning light.
