All about Mount Pocono

Situated in the heart of the Pocono Mountains region of eastern Pennsylvania about two hours from Philadelphia, Mount Pocono is a popular base for winter skiers and outdoor adventurers. The town itself has souvenir shops, a classic American diner that looks frozen in time, family-owned bakeries, new age crystal shops, and health food stores. Visitors can go white water rafting on the Lehigh and Delaware rivers, fish for rainbow trout and largemouth bass in Pocono Lake, cycle a mountain path in one of the 12 nearby parks, ski the slopes, or sample the local craft breweries.

About a 40-minute drive away in Jim Thorpe, you can take a daylong excursion on the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway that will take you through the Lehigh Gorge State Park and past red covered bridges. More small, historic towns like Stroudsburg, Jim Thorpe, Milford, and Hawley are all within an hour’s drive from Mount Pocono for a dose of New England architecture and boutique shopping.

What are the top things to do in Mount Pocono?

The Poconos are dotted with plenty of shops, weekly markets, and outposts that offer a wide variety of antique and vintage treasures from small trinkets to wood furniture.
