==Geography==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau|U.S. Census Bureau]], Wayne County has a total area of {{convert|751|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|726|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|25|sqmi}} (3.3%) is water.<ref name="Gazetteer">{{cite report|author=<!--staff writer(s); no by-line.-->|date=2014|title=2014 Census National Counties Gazetteer File for Pennsylvania|url=http://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2014_Gazetteer/2014_gaz_counties_42.txt|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=June 27, 2015}}</ref>

The terrain of the county is varied. In the wider northern half, the land is rugged along its border with [[New York State]], while the southern portion tends to be [[swamp]]ier. Higher [[hill]]s and [[mountain]]s are predominantly found along the county's western edge, while lower ones are more common in the east, near the [[Delaware River]]. The middle section of Wayne County is a wide [[plain]].

The highest elevation in the county, {{convert|2,659|ft|m|abbr=on}}, is the summit of [[Mount Ararat (Pennsylvania)|Mount Ararat]] in [[Orson, Pennsylvania|Orson]]. Two other summits at the north end of the same ridge also exceed {{convert|2,640|ft|m|abbr=on}} in elevation. The county's lowest point, at approximately {{convert|680|ft|m|abbr=on}} above sea level, is along the Delaware, near Wayne County's border with [[Pike County, Pennsylvania]].

Most of Wayne County is drained by the Delaware (which separates Pennsylvania from New York), with the exception of a few small areas in the western part of the county, which are drained by either the [[Starrucca Creek]] or the [[Lackawanna River]] (which both eventually flow into the [[Susquehanna River]]).

The county has a warm-summer [[humid continental climate]] (''Dfb'') and average monthly temperatures in Honesdale range from 22.8&nbsp;°F in January to 67.9&nbsp;°F in July.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://prism.oregonstate.edu/explorer/ | title=PRISM Climate Group at Oregon State University }}</ref>
