Dotted with sparkling wildflowers, waterfalls, lakes, ponds, rivers and streams and surrounded by gentle mountains, the Pocono Mountains in Northeastern Pennsylvania, centered about 25 miles East of Scranton, is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts at any time of year, as well as families and individuals looking for a tranquil retreat from hectic city life. As far back as the 1800’s, people flocked to the Poconos to enjoy the clean, cool air and relaxing environment. Honeymooners discovered the area during World War II and have continued to vacation here in large numbers. The peace and quiet have suited many religious groups who have chosen the region as the perfect place for their retreats. About an hour and a half from New York City, families have also traditionally found the area a great place to get away together. Within the area are several state parks. The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area covers 70,000 acres along the Delaware River on the East.
Activities: Home to galleries, museums, universities, resorts, and much more, the Poconos has something to offer everyone. Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy canoeing, swimming, white-water rafting, boating and water-skiing. Mountain bikers find an incredible variety of trails and back roads. Golfers can enjoy any of the more than 30 golf courses in the area.
