Welcome to The Poconos
- updated: Thu, 3 May 2007
Its close proximity to the New York Metropolitan area is what gave the Poconos its start as a vacation destination over a century ago. City folks would seek summer refuge from the sweltering heat in the higher elevations, lakes and streams of the Poconos - remember, they didn't have A/C.
Today, it's just a quick drive, as little as two hours in many cases, to this expansive region in Northeastern Pennsylvania. It's almost twice the size of Rhode Island. You'll find quaint places to stay and explore along with a natural backdrop that makes for great fun like rafting and canoeing, hiking, skiing and some great golf. So, explore the Poconos through this site and see what the region has to offer - you might be surprised with what you'll find.
This site contains info on honeymoon and romantic vacations, real estate and rental listings, tips on getting the best rates at many of the hotels and resorts, and other info.
