Spanning 2,500 square miles (6,216 square kilometers) spanning Carbon, Monroe, Pike and Wayne counties in northeastern Pennsylvania, the Pocono Mountains region encompasses a terrain of rolling mountains, dramatic waterfalls, lush forests and 173 miles of winding rivers.
In the winter, visitors have the opportunity to ski, snowboard, snow slide and even snowshoe through the snowy wonderlands that include more than 163 ski slopes. In the summer, active visitors can explore 260 miles of hiking and biking trails, more than 35 golf courses, whitewater rafting, boating, fishing, and free access to nine state parks and two national parks.

Any time of year is perfect to visit the Pocono Mountains, a short distance from the most important cities on the East Coast. This history-steeped region offers year-round cultural tours and art shows, plenty of name-brand and antique shops, and a full calendar of festivals showcasing the heritage, music, and food of the Pocono Mountains.

Even the most discerning traveler will be able to satisfy their lodging needs as the Pocono Mountains offer an eclectic mix of resorts, upscale hotels, quaint country inns and bed and breakfasts.

All of this makes the Pocono Mountains region ideal for corporate meetings and conventions, reunions, family vacations, couples getaways and weddings, or a short bus ride.

The Pocono Mountains are the ideal place for outdoor enthusiasts. While these mountains are a favorite destination for couples and families who enjoy their cozy hotels, they also attract many hikers, mountain bikers and, during the winter, a large number of skiers and snowboarders.
