The Pocono Mountains, commonly known as the Poconos, are one of the Eastern United States' top outdoor recreational destinations, stretching for over 2,400 square miles throughout northeastern Pennsylvania within the Lehigh and Wyoming Valleys. The mountain region, which is one of the most popular getaway destinations for New York and New Jersey residents, is home to nearly a dozen state and national parks, including the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, which stretches for 74 protected miles and preserves the historic Delaware and Hudson Canal. Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area offers year-round opportunities for fishing, hunting, swimming, and skiing. Beautiful landmarks include Bushkill Falls, which offers hiking trails and photo opportunities, and Lake Wallenpaupack, a popular fishing and boat launch area.
