Welcome to the Poconos, PA!
The Pocono Mountain region, known as Pennsylvania's playground as early as 1927, comprises 2,400 square miles of mountains, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and woodlands. The region is located in the northeast corner of Pennsylvania, and includes Carbon, Monroe, Pike, and Wayne counties. Each county has a unique appeal, but all provide retreats into natural splendor. In 1963, the Pocono Mountain area received the title of Honeymoon Capital of the World, after one of its properties offered a room with a heart-shaped tub. Today, the resort spot still hosts throngs of lovebirds. It is also a prime vacation destination for families and outdoor enthusiasts. Whitewater rafting, hiking, fishing, boating, golfing, and skiing are just a few of the recreational activities that lure vacationers. The cultural attractions and nightlife rival the area’s outdoor appeal. Guests will find a custom fit among Poconos hotels, bed and breakfasts, and other accommodations, no matter what their itineraries entail.
