Lake Wallenpaupack

5. Lake Wallenpaupack Sunset

 

Lake Wallenpaupack is one of the best places to see sunset in the Poconos! The setting sun has twice the drama, as the sky’s colors are reflected in the lake’s 5,700 rippling acres. Take your cue from the ducks and get out on the water to take in the sunset when you book a boat rental with local outfitters. Every Wallenpaupack sunset is different: find a place to stay close to the water’s edge like East Shore Lodging or Silver Birches Resort to enjoy the show every night of your trip.

Lehigh Gap Nature Center

6. Lehigh Gap Nature Center

 

The famed Appalachian Trail runs along the southern edge of the Pocono Mountains region, cresting Kittatinny Ridge as it stretches from Delaware Water Gap and Mount Minsi in the east to Blue Mountain and Lehigh Gap Nature Center in the west. Golden hour is an ideal time to follow the white blazes and enjoy the sunset over the mountains.

Mountain View Vineyard
