Fun park to check out and explore on a weekend trip from NYC. Lots of good short walks to idyllic waterfalls and views over the river .

Alex Coughlin

One of the prettiest towns in the country . Likewise, can't beat the hiking . A bit crowded on weekends and the town does.laxk for groceries , otherwise great.

Tracie Stevens Vaughn

There are a lot of hidden hiking trails . By hidden, I mean they are well worn and used, but not clearly marked. Nice for sighting the occasional bear and/or Eagles.

Michael Cuff

If you are hiking the Red Dot Trail , get to the parking lot by 9:30 am, or everything is full during the summer.

Meghan LaMason

Check out the waterfalls ! Bypass bushkill falls. It's a huge tourist trap. Check out raymondskill and dingmans falls instead. They are gorgeous and free!

The views are exquisite, however when visiting my cousin, wasn't told of the 1 lane wooden bridge I had to cross to get to her house, & how steep driving up the mountain was. But so love the Poconos.

Nathan Deisem

Trails are a great way to exercise and experience nature! Go on and get out there! ????

Great place to take your dogs. Not a lot of people on the Pennsylvania side.

Awesome place to explore. Beautiful views and good hiking . Great place in the summer.

Go up the Mt Tamany trail and down the red dot . It's steeper but safer going up.

Definitely one of the prettier spots of the area.

Most trails aren't pet friendly … Go to Adams Creek if you're looking to bring your dog.

Beautiful recreational area. Very crowded on a weekend, however. Trying to get a picture in front of the waterfall is virtually impossible, as everyone is looking for the same shot you are. - Lenny Gallo
