Tips on renting in Poconos

Getting Around

The Pocono Mountains are renowned for their picturesque lakes such as Lake Naomi, Lake Wallenpaupack, and Arrowhead Lake. These destinations are ideal for guests seeking the best lakes in the Poconos for swimming, kayaking, and fishing, all while staying in comfortable lakefront cabin rentals or cozy, pet friendly cabins.

What to Pack

The Poconos' 1,500-2,000 foot elevation creates microclimates that shift dramatically within hours. Layer merino wool beneath waterproof shells for lake mornings that dawn at 50 degrees before warming to afternoon 70s. Pack sturdy trail boots for waterfall bushwhacking, water shoes for Lake Wallenpaupack's rocky entries, and a packable down jacket year-round—even July evenings require insulation. Include reef-safe sunscreen; these crystalline lakes deserve protection while you swim their glacial-fed waters.

Must-Try Activities

Shohola Falls thunders 50 feet high and 75 feet wide below Shohola Lake dam, yet remains the region's best-kept secret despite fronting Route 6. Hornbecks Creek conceals Indian Ladder Falls in Pike County, a three-tiered cascade through a scenic gorge where water crossings and unique geological formations reward those who venture beyond marked trails. Resica Falls offers stone-constructed overlook views with free access that locals cherish, while Camp Hidden Falls in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area provides that "true exploration" feeling with its 10-12 foot waterfall and unmarked parking.

Smart Spending Tips

Pocono vacation rentals range $200-$400 nightly for lakefront properties sleeping families of four, with premium Lake Wallenpaupack homes commanding higher rates. Budget $15-$25 per person for casual lakeside dining at The Dock on Wallenpaupack, $60-$100 for family meals. Activities span free state park beaches to $50 whitewater rafting adventures and $80-$120 daily ski passes. Waterpark resort day passes run $60-$90 per person. Plan $250-$350 daily for comfortable family exploration including lodging, meals, and signature experiences.

The Poconos welcome families to Pennsylvania’s mountain playground, where over 2,400 square miles of forest, lakes, and waterfalls create endless adventure. Your family will discover the magic of Bushkill Falls, nicknamed the “Niagara of Pennsylvania,” where wooden walkways lead past eight cascading waterfalls through hemlock groves. In charming Jim Thorpe, Victorian architecture lines the streets while the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway carries you along river views that shift with each season.

Lake Wallenpaupack stretches across 5,700 acres near Hawley, offering pontoon boat rentals and sandy beaches perfect for building castles while you watch sailboats glide past. The Pocono Environmental Education Center in Dingmans Ferry guides families on nature walks revealing hidden beaver ponds and songbird habitats. Mount Pocono and Tannersville provide year-round fun at Camelback Mountain Adventures, where summer brings mountain coasters and ziplines.

Hidden treasures include Hickory Run State Park’s Boulder Field, a National Natural Landmark where 20,000-year-old glacial stones create an otherworldly landscape. Stroudsburg’s downtown invites ice cream stops at local creameries, while Milford’s Grey Towers National Historic Site offers mansion tours through Gifford Pinchot’s former estate.
