Vacationing in an area that experiences all of its tourism during one particular season, during that season, can be a lot of fun. You get caught up in the seasonal excitement. There are usually never-ending season related activities. Almost everyone you meet is there to do basically the same things you are. It really builds a sense of comradery and excitement into your vacation. But, it can also be tiring. Sometimes, you might want to be able to choose what time of year you can take your trip and then have a variety of activities to choose from when you get there. If that’s the case for you, the Poconos are the place for you to go on your next vacation!
The Pocono Mountains region is 2,400 square miles in Pennsylvania that includes waterfalls, rivers, woods, mountains, and more. Because the area has so many different geographical features, the Poconos offer numerous activities for visitors to enjoy during every season of the year.
In the Spring, the plant life in the area comes alive. As everything starts to grow and bloom again in the warmer temperatures, the Poconos becomes an excellent place for activities that involve going outside and experiencing nature. To do this, you can find hikes, horseback rides, and even adventure parks that will allow you to experience all of the beauty that the area has to offer this time of year.
Summer in the Poconos brings warmer temperatures and even more activities to choose from. With these temperature changes you can still enjoy all of those outdoor activities you could enjoy in the Spring, you just might need to pack some extra water while you’re out. Or, you can do some activities that are more water oriented to go with the weather. You can explore the lakes and rivers with boat trips, whitewater rafting, tubing and more. You can also choose to visit one of the waterparks in the area if you prefer slides to rapids.
Fall is the time of year when the Poconos get the most social and educational. Festivals and fairs are a common occurrence as people celebrate the beauty of the changing trees and plants. You can also take train rides and tours to see the area and learn about the plant and tree life. Just remember to pack prepared for both warmer and colder weather this time of year.
