Winter In the Pocono Mountains of PA

Well winter has finally set in here in the Pocono Mountains and all my local friends have come by for a free meal. At least someone is using the picnic table. I've seen more Turkey this year then in the past few winters and the Deer are fewer in number then last winter.
The Pocono's has a lot to offer. With Skiing being the biggest draw, There is still some good hiking to be done in the Local State Parks and Wild life refuge areas on Rout 115,  Ice fishing is not up to par with the thin ice we have but hopefully that will change in the next couple of weeks. Trout Fishing is still active on the Lehigh and the Toby having good water levels. Snowmobiling is happening in the Lackawanna State forest along with Hickory Run State Park. Not into the cold weather activities then maybe one of the many indoor Water Parks might interest you.  So come and enjoy all that the Pocono's has to offer this time of year.

March in the Pocono Mountains and more

March is a unpredictable time in the Pocono Mountains. We've had everything from snow storms to bright sunny days in the 50s in the past years, So don't put away your snow shovels or ski equipment just yet. The past few days it has been in the single digits with snow almost every day. The slopes are loving it and if the weather holds you might be skiing almost to April this year. Jack frost and Big Boulder are still very busy along with Camel Back reporting great conditions. On 3/9  and  3/17  Jim Thorpe is hosting the Saint Patrick's Day festival which is always a good time, Check it out if you are in the area. The best part about the Pocono's is there is something to do all year long. In just 6 weeks or so Trout season opens in our area, There are plenty of streams and Lakes to choose from, Like the Toby Creek, Lehigh River, Brady's Lake to name a few. May starts our summer season with Boating, River rafting trips, Swimming, Biking . Lets not forget the Spring Gobbler season for the hunting enthusiast and much more. So what ever you are into I think you will find it here in the Pocono Mountains.

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.

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.
