Soak up the Sun

Plan the perfect summer escape in the Pocono Mountains.

Grab your friends for an unforgettable road trip or treat yourself to a solo vacation: the Poconos region of northeastern Pennsylvania is a picture-perfect place to unplug and unwind during warm weather getaways. About a two hours' drive from New York and Philadelphia, our 2,400 square miles of unspoiled natural beauty are home to countless ways to get outside and enjoy the summer sunshine.

Tubing and Relaxing

Leave your worries and your phone behind as your drift with the current while tubing on the Delaware River. Slow things down as you feel the cool water on your skin and watch for wildlife, wildflowers and beautiful views you can only see from the water! Sign for a trip with small town liveries like Edge of the Wood Outfitters in Delaware Water Gap or Kittatinny Canoes - Rafting and Tubing in Milford who will take care of shuttle transportation to and from the launch, raft or tube rentals, and lifejackets.

International Dining

Get a taste of flavors from around the globe while sampling international dining right here in the Poconos! See a hibachi show and try renowned sushi at desaki, browse Polish pastries and signature sourdough at Bella Artisan Bakery & Deli, discover authentic Ecuadorian dishes at Bluefoot Cuisine, or see how much spice you can take at Tandoor Palace in Tannersville.

Arts & History

Whether you want to visit an art gallery to see a local maker at work in their studio or step back in time to learn about the area's heritage during a museum visit, why not add some local culture to your vacation? Take a look at our Poconos Made Guide to artisans and markets or sign up for the free digital Pocono History & Arts Trail, the perfect tool to help you navigate your way through our region's past.

Places to Stay
