When most people think of the Pocono Mountains I'm sure Skiing in the winter and Swimming at the community Lakes and pools in the summer come to mind. But this area is made up of some of the best Game lands,State Parks and State Forest. The area I am talking about is from Pocono Pines Pa west to Jim Thorpe. Pa. and north to Thornhurst Pa. with in this area there is SGL 127, SGL 129, SGL 040, SGL 135 and SGL 091. Then there is the Hickory Run State park to the west side and Lackawanna State forest (Pinchot State Forest)to the north side.
Hickory Run State Park is around 16000 acres. There are plenty of camping sites, a Beach area and over 40 miles of hiking Trails. There is some great trout fishing on the Lehigh River, Hickory Run, Sand Spring and good hunting in this area. Other Attractions include Boulder Field, Hawk Falls. Snowmobiling trails are open in the winter usually after the hunting seasons. The parks main entrance is on route 534 just north of Albrightsville.
Lackawanna State Forest now called the Pinchot State Forest main entrance is on Bear Lake Road in Thornhurst Pa. There are camp sites, Hiking, Bike Trails and Picnic area. Snowmobiling trails are open in the winter usually after the hunting seasons.
The State game lands Listed above all offer good Deer, Bear and Turkey hunting and are within a 15 minute drive from Blakeslee Corners Route 115 and 940. The Largest one in the area is SGL 127 with around 25519 acres located around Brady's Lake. Arrowhead Lakes and Locust Lake Village are two Pocono communities that border this Game Land 127, Timber Trails also borders it on the east side of route 423.
