Outdoors & Adventure
With Pocono meaning the "stream between two mountains,” the region encompasses 2,400 square miles of lakes, rivers and woodlands just waiting to be discovered.
Enjoy campfire-toasted marshmallows as you experience the outdoors firsthand at your campsite. Pack a lunch and travel around countless mountains, ravines and untouched wilderness. Nourish your soul while soaking in the majesty of a mountain vista. Listen to the birds as you float along the river.
After you've explored the tamer side of nature, why not try a walk on the wilder side. Bike through the gorge or navigate some single track. Feel your adrenaline rush as you raft down the rapids. Hike into nearly unexplored territory and discover tumbling waterfalls. Experience the wonder of a clear-bottom kayak. Test your lure as you catch largemouth bass, rainbow trout, walleye and countless other fish in our lakes and rivers. Whatever adventure you are looking for, the Pocono Mountains will help answer nature's call.
