It lies 16.9 miles south-east of Hazleton, PA (from Hazleton, PA: bearing 128°T), and is situated 5.8 miles west of Palmerton.

A quiet creek, more a whispered promise of water than a roaring torrent, meanders through the valley floor, its banks fringed with willows that bow their heads in the persistent breeze. The air, especially as evening settles, carries a clean scent of damp soil and pine, a subtle perfume that clings to the skin and the very soul of Dry Tavern.
