    A Wonderland for Outdoor Enthusiasts in Northeast Pennsylvania (NEPA)

    The Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, often called ‘The Poconos,’ transform into a snowy wonderland each winter, offering a diverse range of activities for adventurers, couples, and families. Renowned for its picturesque landscapes of rolling hills, dense forests, and frozen lakes, the Poconos is the perfect destination for winter sports enthusiasts. Whether you’re a ski bunny, adrenaline junkie or looking for a cozy retreat with friends, there’s something for everyone to enjoy this winter.

    Skiing and Snowboarding

    The Poconos are home to some of the finest ski resorts in the northeastern United States. Popular area destinations such as Camelback Mountain Resort, Jack Frost Mountain Resort, Blue Mountain Resort, Montage Mountain Resort, Ski Big Bear, and Shawnee Mountain Ski Area provide top-notch facilities for skiing and snowboarding when the winter weather allows in Northeast Pennsylvania (NEPA). With well-groomed slopes, state-of-the-art snowmaking technology, and a range of difficult trails, these resorts cater to beginners and seasoned pros alike.

    Camelback Mountain Resort, for example, boasts 39 trails and 16 lifts, while Blue Mountain features the highest vertical drop in Pennsylvania, making it a favorite among thrill-seekers. Lessons are also available on most mountains for those looking to learn or improve their skills, making the Poconos an excellent destination for families and groups of mixed abilities.

    Snow Tubing

    If skiing or snowboarding isn’t your style, snow tubing is a fun and accessible option for all ages. Camelback Mountain Resort offers one of the largest snow tubing parks in the country, with up to 40 lanes and both single and double tubes available. Shawnee Mountain and Jack Frost Big Boulder also feature dedicated snow tubing areas, complete with magic carpet lifts for an easy ride back to the top.

    Snow tubing is perfect for families with young children, as it requires no prior experience and offers hours of excitement. Just bring your snow gear. The thrill of sliding down a snowy hill at high speeds is sure to leave everyone smiling.

    Ice Skating and Ice Fishing

    The region’s frozen lakes, such as Lake Wallenpaupack and Promised Land State Park, provide the ideal setting for winter activities like ice skating and ice fishing. Several outdoor rinks also pop up across the area, offering scenic and festive atmospheres. Skytop Lodge offers ice skating in the pavilion and reservations typically open on Thanksgiving weekend.

    For anglers, ice fishing on frozen lakes is a peaceful and rewarding activity. Common catches include perch, trout, and bass. Many lakes in the region have designated ice fishing spots and are regularly stocked, ensuring a successful outing for seasoned and novice fishermen alike.

    Snowshoeing and Cross-Country Skiing

    For those who enjoy exploring winter landscapes at a slower pace, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing provide excellent opportunities. The Pocono Environmental Education Center and Delaware State Forest have well-marked trails that wind through serene woodlands and offer breathtaking views of snow-covered valleys and ridges.

    Romantic Activities for Couples

    NEPA This Valentine’s Day

    Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to celebrate love, and Northeastern Pennsylvania offers an enchanting setting for couples seeking memorable experiences. From cozy lodges to scenic landscapes, this region is brimming with romantic activities that cater to every type of couple. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a single special day, here are some ideas to make your Valentine’s Day unforgettable.

    Get Creative Together

    For couples looking to try something hands-on and meaningful, Craft Into Art in Dingmans Ferry offers a unique Valentine’s Day experience that goes beyond the traditional dinner date.

It’s an intimate, relaxed way to share a memorable moment while learning a new skill together.

    Get Outside (Even in Winter)

    If you love the outdoors, winter is a great excuse to bundle up and head outside together. Promised Land State Park and Hickory Run State Park are local go-tos for snowshoeing or cross-country skiing when conditions allow—and even a simple winter walk can feel romantic when the trails are quiet.

    Looking for something a little more playful? Ice skating or snow tubing at places like Camelback or Skytop makes for a fun, low-pressure date that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

    Make Dinner the Main Event

    Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to splurge a little on dinner. The French Manor Inn & Spa offers a classic, candlelit dining experience with great food and views that never get old.

    For something warmer and more laid-back, Settlers Inn in Hawley is always a solid choice, with its farm-to-table menu, fireplaces, and cozy atmosphere. Pair dinner with a bottle from a local winery like Antler Ridge or Capra Collina to keep it close to home.

    Turn a Local Favorite into a Romantic Escape

    You don’t need to leave town to feel like you’ve gotten away. Places like Cove Haven are close enough for a spontaneous overnight or even a day trip, yet still feel like a total change of pace. Think couples’ massages, candlelit dinners, and a few indulgent touches that turn a regular weekend into something memorable.

    For a quieter, more wellness-focused option, The Lodge at Woodloch in Hawley offers spa treatments, wellness classes, and great food—perfect if your idea of romance is slowing down and unplugging together.

    Take a Drive You’ve Done Before—Just Slower

    A winter drive through the Poconos or Endless Mountains hits differently when you’re not in a rush. Cruise through towns like Milford or Jim Thorpe, grab coffee, pop into a shop or two, and enjoy the scenery you usually pass by.

    If you’re feeling extra festive, a horse-drawn carriage ride at the Shawnee Inn or a local stable offering Valentine’s packages (blankets and hot cocoa included) adds a little magic without needing a full weekend away.

    Raise a Glass Close to Home

    Toast your love with a visit to one of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s welcoming wineries or breweries. Three Hammers Winery offers a cozy, relaxed atmosphere for tastings—perfect for sharing a glass and discovering new local favorites together. If beer is more your style, explore local craft breweries such as Wallenpaupack Brewing Company, which often features seasonal brews perfect for winter celebrations.

    You can also skip the crowded bars and opt for a relaxed tasting instead. Local wineries like Harmony Ridge Winery or Mountain View Vineyard are great spots to share a flight, linger over conversation, and enjoy the slower winter pace.

    End the Night the Simple Way

    Sometimes the best part of Valentine’s Day is the quiet ending. Clear winter skies make for great stargazing—whether that’s from your backyard, a local overlook, or around a fire pit. Add a blanket, a warm drink, and a little time together, and you’ve got the kind of moment that doesn’t need much planning.

    Whether you prefer adventure, relaxation, creativity, or a mix of all three, Northeastern Pennsylvania offers countless ways to celebrate love this Valentine’s Day. With its scenic beauty and thoughtful experiences—from spa retreats to pottery wheels—this region is sure to create cherished memories for you and your partner.
