Outdoor Adventure  

The Pocono Mountains are a favorite of outdoor enthusiasts. With 7 state parks, 72,000 acres of state forests, the 70,000 acre Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, and numerous state game lands, this region is a natural retreat. Because of this region's incredible natural beauty, some of the most scenic hiking trails in the US are found in the Pocono Mountains. Poconos hiking trails are for everyone, ranging in difficulty from easy strolls to rugged hikes. If you don't feel like hiking but want to enjoy the beautiful scenery, Poconos horseback riding is for you! Find out more about where to go in the Pocono Mountains for hiking, biking, paintball, and more.
