Trails are plentiful in our state parks and national recreation areas as well as on the beautiful properties of some of our lodging facilities. Whether you are a beginner or expert, there is no better way to discover the majesty of a snow-blanketed forest, the wonder of a bright-white expanse of meadow and the awesome beauty of the rushing waters than from the various trails in the Pocono Mountains while cross country skiing.
