Things to Do in the Poconos, Pennsylvania

The Pocono Mountains are the Northeast’s year-round mountain getaway — about 90 minutes from NYC and 2 hours from Philadelphia. The region built its reputation on honeymoon resorts (the heart-shaped hot tubs are iconic), but it’s also genuine outdoor country with skiing, whitewater rafting, waterfalls, and 150+ lakes spread across 2,400 square miles.
