How to Get There

Overview

The Pocono Mountains are a forested plateau in northeastern Pennsylvania, about two hours from both Philadelphia and New York City, known for waterfalls, lakes, ski resorts, and family vacation getaways. The region includes the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Lehigh Gorge, and state parks such as Ricketts Glen, and is popular for hiking, whitewater rafting, and winter skiing and tubing.

Highlights nearby include Bushkill Falls, the "Niagara of Pennsylvania," and the waterfalls of Ganoga Falls. Mountain resorts, honeymoon lodges, and boutique inns have made the Poconos a classic Northeast getaway for generations.
