Even on a cloudy day, enjoy an astounding view at Big Pocono State Park! Perched on top of Camelback Mountain, Big Pocono State Park ascends at almost 21,000 feet. Mountaintop sights extend as far as the eye can see to various parts of Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. Hike along the 8.5 miles of trails, or bike along the peak!
