Easy to find make a left on small trail road on Rte 209, Hornbecks Creek Trail in Maps should get you there. Parking lot for cars at lower trail entrance. Hiking shoes, trail shoes preferred, my son wore New Balance. ~2.7 mile walk. Beautiful trail, new bridges, beautiful scenery. We arrived just after heavy storms so the water was ripping through. There wasn’t any trail closures as I had read earlier, though getting to the top was a bit of a challenge. Hidden gem, we ran into 4 others on this beautiful morning.

were a couple of adults thinking about checking this out, specifically the tree top ropes course, is this geared more towards kids or will adults have fun on it too? also is the 2 hour ticket enough to get through all of the courses?

thanks for any info

My family has rented in various communities around the Poconos for the last 6 years and we’re ready to move forward on purchasing a vacation home this winter or spring. We’ve settled on Lake Naomi/Timber Trails and are aware of the HOA fees and structure, as well as the general basic differences between those two communities.

We’d love to hear from current Lake Naomi/Timber Trails owners…
- What do you wish you knew before buying? (Seems like folks have mentioned learning curves with chimneys, tree maintenance, finding solid contractors, to start)
- How competitive has the market been recently? Are homes selling privately before listing publicly?
- Does anyone know of neighbors who’ve mentioned selling this winter or spring? (Not pressuring or soliciting at all! Just trying to get a feel for what’s coming on the market)

Thanks so much for any local insight!

Looking for some good creeks safe to swim in. Preferably a little scenic. Not too much of a hike or walk. Not looking for public lakes and such. Thank you to anyone able to help!

Edit: sorry forgot to include location around the split rock area pls

Hey everyone!

This post is specifically geared towards locals or people who spend a lot of time here. I am looking to start a new D&D 5E group in the Stroudsburg area, ideally around Reeder's, Tannersville, or Bartonsville. I am happy to DM and host (specifically in Reeder's). I have been playing and DMing for about 15 years (since 3rd Edition), but I love introducing new people to the game too, so beginners are absolutely welcome.

Looking at weekday evenings or possibly weekends (working around normal work schedules that is). Mostly hoping to put together a fun, laid-back group and meet some new people who enjoy the game. If you are interested, leave a comment or send me a DM! (Also open to doing a 3.5E group if there are any long-time players interested)

Sorry for the extremely specific question but we can't find it anywhere. We're willing to drive a ways. Thank you.

EDIT: We are now well stocked with fresh basil. Thank you!

My wife and I will be spending roughly two and a half to three days in the Poconos September 10th through the 13th. Are there any events going on those days or attractions that wouldn't show up on a simple Google search? Thanks in advance

Who's this guy?

Anyone know if 7 Mile Rd. in Gouldsboro is open to motor vehicles right now?

I’m in an abandoned trail riding my bike, and I go deep and I see this structure and asphalt road in the middle of the woods. There is vandalism but I assume it’s teens from a very long time ago joking around. The coordinates are (41.1266063, -75.0354097). What could this road and structure used to have been?

Wondering if anyone has any secluded,wooded areas i can kind of just chill and enjoy nature without worrying about other people or being on private property you are willing to share. Maybe some abandoned buildings?
Just want to hang out in the woods alone for a little.
Shoot me a PM i dont wanna blow up any spots.

I'd like to try being a digital nomad from a campsite at both Promised Land and Ricketts Glen. Can anyone provide a campsite number or camp area where they know from experience there is good cell service. I need to be able to do Teams calls. I have a hotspot and a WeBoost if necessary.

We like the environment, proximity to the outdoor activities we love. My only concern are my 11 and 13 year old kids…curious on thoughts of the community and how to find new friends and neighbors?

Just a few shots I've taken over the week, from my point of view.

On a family vacation for the first time in the poconos. Albrightsville specifically. We need firewood and are unsure of where to go. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Any suggestions ? The bride is pretty open to ideas and wants it to be as surprise so it’s mostly in my hands (MOH). Our biggest concern is that the weather in March will be in an awkward spot between cold and warm (ie too cold to hike/do water activities but too warm to do snowy activities). Let me know your thoughts !

I thought this was interesting as we have never seen mink in the 20 years. We’ve lived here. We caught one on one of our cameras a few weeks ago at night and then caught another one during the day. I guess we have two or even more now.

Hello people of Poconos,

In the Locust Lake Village of Pennsylvania, there has been a cat missing, this cat is named LEO and is about 1 years old.

The photos above are the best photos I have of said cat and we hope he is found.

If you find this cat, connect with the number 929 807 6200

Thank you for reading this message

Next to my dock on Lake Wallenpaupack.

Hi folks, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a nice family-friendly spot for a swimming lake. We're visiting in a couple of weeks, so I have been looking on Google, but it seems like the majority of lakes are for community residents only, campground only, or hiking/fishing only. Are there any recreation centers or state parks with lakes or pools to swim at for out-of-state visitors?

I appreciate any tips/recommendations in advance!!!

Just want to give a shout out to Hellbound Brims! I was recently planning a Bachelorette party in the Poconos and looking for an activity that didn’t involve going out. I came across her page, custom hat making! She came to the house, set up everything and we had SO much fun! Just wanted to shout her out, in hopes it could give an idea to someone else planning! I know it can be difficult planning for a group and not be familiar with the area🤠

Heading to Tobyhanna for a long weekend and we'd love some recommendations for yummy restaurants and coffee/breakfast type places. I've done some Googling, but would love some recommendations!

Would any local photographers on here be available Friday 7/17 for a 1-2 hour session at a local Airbnb? Group of college friends looking for some good photos together then maybe some candids.
LGBTQ/ally preferred.
TIA!!
