r/Poconos

hi hi!
So I am from nyc and wanting to go on a weekend getaway. Some people on other threads were recommending Jim Thorpe since it possible to get there by train. However I wanted to ask if maybe there might be more suggestion or to make Jim Thrope our solid trip get away

just to add context!
We want to do hiking trails, eat and venture out
also if we can get there by train and no car that is also a big plus ! so if that does check these boxes if not any other recommendations would be appreciated and welcomed :) thank you

Hello all I trying to rent an apartment and I’m wondering, as the title says, where the cheapest places to rent in NEPA are my max budget is 750 a month for rent and 1600 for total monthly expenses so where is best?

Hello everyone,

What is it like living in this area?

Hello! I will be visiting for a long weekend with my mom the last weekend in September. I would like to treat her to a fancy dinner, maybe somewhere I could order a bottle of champagne or something fun like that? My mom is a delight and I want to surprise her! Thank you!

My boyfriend and I are looking for a place where we can back in (we have a Chevy Colorado “camper) and use our little cook stove to grill up some food and just sit around on the bed of the truck for a few hours and have a nice view! Work has been tough and we just wanted an excuse to drive around NEPA and be outside. Maybe something preferably near a lake or stream?

We would be coming from the Philly suburb area and are willing to drive 1.5-2 hours for anything :)

I'm a music and art lover & generally accept everyone's diversity. But this event is driving me and all my neighbors crazy. I don't mind the traffic because it occurs with the races and so be it. I just avoid going its that direction.

But the noise level is out of control. I live 5 miles from the Raceway and my walls were reverberating with the same stupid beat until 3AM. 3AM!!!! People even heard this nonsense miles south from me.

Cops called and they have so many incidents of noise from everybody in an uproar. If this is bugging you contact the Pocono Twp police. They are taking incident reports and attend the Township meeting. This is unbearable & two days left. God dammit.

Hi ya’ll. I am in search of a ~14ft old town canoe (can be another maker, too— OT is preferred) for sale. Must have 2 seats installed. I have cash in hand, and am looking for delivery to Hawley, PA before 08/15.

If anyone is interested, reach out!

Skip Naomi cause I’m not staying for a whole week and adding 500 bucks to the tab.

Hello, Im a long time D&D player and I want to branch out into WH40K now. I started a tyranid army a long time ago to have something fun to paint between models for D&D but ive never played before. Are there any groups in the area that wouldn't mind me spectating a bit and learning?

So many places I have visited recently seem to be overcome by drugs, homeless, weed smell, lack of maintenance, crime, bad roads, aging infrastructure and shopping districts with lots of empty stores. What is the Poconos real view on the street? Is Mount Airy Resort nice or aging badly? Is the foliage train ride worthwhile? Any info for an October adult couple long weekend appreciated!

Looking for a DIY tubing trip on the river close to NYC . What are good launch and land spots for a couple hour trip that are free access with parking lot

I'm planning a trip to the Pocono's soon and I noticed there's 2 casinos in the area. I'm not that familiar with them so I wanted to ask, which one do people prefer and why?
