r/Poconos

Can be any local businesses. Let's spread the awareness.

Our schedule changed and now have and opening to have a mini vacation with our family at the end of July.

Our children are 4 and 1 years old. Would like to bring our dog if we could. But not a deal breaker.

- All inclusive resorts or small cottages/airbnb?

- full access to lake, able to rent kayaks, etc.

- hiking trails

- easy drive/walk to a town area?

- restaurant recommendations

Any tips, suggestions, recommendations appreciated! We’ve never been to this area before.

Hoping for a unicorn out there since it’s last minute.

All,

I am a New Yorker in his 30s, family of four, always interested in buying a second property. I notice many of the lots in the Poconos come up at $10,000 or less.

Question: wouldn't it be a good investment to buy the lot and put one of those modular homes on it? Save on construction costs.

Does anyone know what the black tar sludge at the boat/kayak ramp’s is? It got all over my gear, dog and truck.

My teen leaves for a two week trip tomorrow and I find out they need contacts. What are the odds someone has -4.75 and -5.25 lenses (or near enough) they'd be willing to part with. Happy to pay. This is purely a desperation play. Thx.

Hi- my bachelor party in the Poconos in a couple weeks. We are going to play golf on Thursday, probably 3 tee times. I’ve been looking at Hidden Hills- it looks like there’s some really cool holes, but I’ve seen some so-so comments on the condition.

To be clear, I’m not snobby about courses. Obviously just don’t want like dirt patches on greens stuff. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

I am traveling this weekend to Poconos. Hotel is in Wilkes-Barre. Can you please recommend good places for site seeing, white water rafting and light trekking?

Coming from Philly, is there a public lake we could visit this weekend without it being completely wall to wall people? Is this just a pipe dream? Thanks for any help (and only laughing at me a little.)

If you were looking to buy somewhere on the Poconos and you are in your early 60s looking for a community and near a lake where would you recommend looking?

Heading to Mt. Pocono tomorrow and looking for a recommendation for lunch. What is your favorite spot to take guests when visiting?

I'm a relatively new second-home owner in the area, and it seems like my neighborhood has a lot of folks from eastern Europe, i think mostly Ukraine and Russia but maybe others? I'm just interested if there's a particular connect for these folks ending up in the Poconos (we live in the Dingman's Ferry / Milford area specifically). Asking purely from historical / social interest, I think it's great to have folks from all over the place here!

Hello, please delete if this isn't the right sub but I'm looking for suggestions for hikes that hug a river or a creek for easy water/swimming access, within a 3-hour drive of Philadelphia.

I'm from NC where we have the Linville gorge, where you can follow the river for 20 + miles and pull off anywhere and camp for the night. The closest my research has been able to find is the Lehigh Gorge which sounds beautiful but camping is not permitted.

Is there any trails in central/eastern PA where I might be able to find a lengthy trail with campsite that hug a river/creek/stream? Definitely open to NJ, Delaware MD or anywhere within a 3-hour ish drive from Philly. Thank you!!!

Hey Sub,

We are renting a house in poconos and would love to do at home hibachi.

Would love to hear people who have done the same and any recommendations.

Hi,

Are there any reliable transportation/cab services to go from the pocono bus stop to Big bass lake area? Google maps says it is about 20 minutes by car. Thank you!
