The Pocono Mountains of northeast Pennsylvania is divided into five regions: Upper Delaware River Region, Lake Region, Delaware River Region, Mountain Region and Lehigh River Gorge Region. Explore the different regions to find a perfect place to stay and discover the exhilarating things to do and refreshing things to see while visiting.
Upper Delaware River Region (Pike & Wayne Counties): This region is rustic and full of the great outdoors that the Pocono Mountains is known for. Learn to raft on its Class I and II rapids or watch for a bald eagle in winter.
Lake Region (Pike & Wayne Counties): Stroll through the towns of Hawley and Honesdale for quaint shops and rare antiques. This region also surrounds stunning Lake Wallenpaupack, a man-made lake built in 1927 covering 5,700 acres and 13 ½ miles in length with 52-miles of uninterrupted shoreline.
Delaware River Region (Monroe & Pike Counties): Activities, such as, canoeing, rafting, hiking, biking swimming, fishing, bird watching, eagle observation, golfing, hunting, skiing, snowshoeing and horseback riding are all available from the Delaware Water Gap, north to the town of historic Milford.
Mountain Region (Monroe County): Renowned for its downhill skiing or other winter fun, the Mountain Region is a gem in the summer months too, especially with its waterparks and unique shopping venues. Make time for a visit to an art gallery in one of the downtowns like Stroudsburg or East Stroudsburg.
Lehigh River Gorge Region (Carbon County): Picturesque Jim Thorpe (formerly known as Mauch Chunk) lies in the heart of this region, which offers historic sites, museums, unique shopping, antiquing, dining and more. The Lehigh River Gorge Region is the perfect destination for the avid historian or recreation seeker.
Invite your friends and family to celebrate the Pocono Arts Council throughout downtown Stroudsburg. A variety of special performances, fine arts and craft exhibits will be displayed. The event will be held from 3-8pm. Downtown parking will be free during the event. More
The CMC competition is broken down into three components to test strength, endurance, and agility. Race day structure will consist of "The PIT" (lifting element) into a five mile mountain race with strategically placed military obstacles. This structure is what separates the Civilian Military Combine from all other races and competitions. The PIT is designed to be the great equalizer by leveling the playing field between power athletes and endurance runners to determine the best overall conditioned athlete. This race structure has been carefully created, refined, and reviewed by the top strength and conditioning coaches from the CrossFit community, United States Armed Forces and USA Triathlon Organization Race Directors. The registration fee is $100 per person. More
