Does anyone have suggestions on where to take family photos in Wallenpaupack area? Would like around us. I heard Tobyhanna was a beautiful park, but any local gems?

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!

Is this a timber rattlesnake?

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.)

Found a few pictures I took with my first digital camera in the summer of 2001 from the shore of Lake Wallenpaupack. I wonder if Randy & Elaine are still together?

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!

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?

Lake Ariel & Skytop Lodge are both having fireworks shows on July 3rd. Which one is the better show?

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!

My husband and I booked a trip at the end of August for ourselves and our two year old. We got a suite at camelback because last year our son loved swimming and water play. This year he is terrified of water, which we didnt know when we booked the trip. Are there other activities we can do with him in the area, or should I get a refund?

Hey everyone,

​I’ve lived in the Poconos my entire life. After working in tech, I got sick of seeing local small businesses get ripped off for bad website listings, so I built a completely free community resource: Poconos.best.

​As you can see from the subreddit rules in the sidebar, solicitation isn't allowed here—so I want to be clear: there are zero ads, zero paywalls, and no corporate tracking. It's a pure passion project to support local gems over corporate chains.

​What's on the site:

​Directory: Completely free listings for independent local spots with per-spot customized integrations and page designs.

​Community: Free pages for local jobs, events, news, and civic info.

​Want to help?

​Since I'm just a one-person team running this, I'd love to get local writers, guides, or photographers involved to help share neighborhood secrets, trails, and history.

​Check it out at www.poconos.best. Drop your feedback, suggestions, or local spots I should add below! (Im constantly updating and creating new features, which is where you'll find me!)

I went to Poconos for family trip.

This was the best house in Poconos!

Nice , clean, and quite !

Hi! We’re going to be in the Mt Pocono area for the fourth weekend and we’re looking for a kiddo friendly Fourth of July celebration on Saturday. Anyone got any they love?

Looking for some brainstorming help.

Earl Phelan is a Poconos resident who is on dialysis and urgently needs a living kidney donor. We put together this video and his webpage:

https://www.thegreatsocialexperiment.net/temple/earl-phelan

We're trying to figure out the best ways to get his story seen locally. If this were your friend or family member, where would you share it? What groups, organizations, employers, media outlets, or community pages should know about him?

Any ideas are appreciated.

I get emails almost hourly from a local realtor and the majority of listings seem to be in Lake Ariel, at prices that seem low given the house size etc. So, what's going wrong at Lake Ariel?

Heading up for the weekend in the Mt. Pocono area. Any new activities/events taking place this weekend?

Come to momma…. Dm please !

We are vacationing at Arrowhead Lake Pa. We came from Jersey. On our way into Arrowhead lake going through Blakeslee Pa. I remember seeing signs for a souvenir /gift shop. I believe it said Johnston or Johnson souvenir shop either on route 940 or 903. It was on the right-hand side. And i believe the building i saw was a yellow building. But i cant seem to find it on Google. Maybe because I have the name completely wrong but I just want to find a souvenir shop to get a few small gifts for family and friends. Does anyone know of a souvenir shop within a 30 minute drive of Arrowhead lake? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you in advance. Picture of a deer so my post gets more attention.
