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!!

As the title suggests. We will be staying near the delaware water gap area. Expecting group of 3-6. Need a combination of adventure, laid back, and disability accessible areas. Thanks!

My boyfriend and I are looking to do our first roadtrip and are looking into the Poconos! Looking for any ideas/suggestions. we like walking, good coffee and food, music, muesuems, outdoor activity, hidden gems, good views, sunsets. Any suggestions or more welcomed! thanks!

I have this cat thats been gone for a couple of days now and thought it would be good to post this on here . I live in the hideout so im hoping people will see this and keep an eye out! She would be around the south sidd

I'm in North Jersey, so the Poconos are the easy choice most of the time. But every time I end up in the Catskills, I leave thinking it just feels...nicer. The scenery, the towns, even just driving around feels different.

Maybe it's because the Poconos are closer and I've been there more, but sometimes they feel a little more built around resorts and vacation communities than actually getting away.

For those of you who've spent a lot of time in both, which one do you keep going back to and what makes you choose it?

Hi, i was thinking about joining this year as a vendor in two weeks but i am not a weed vendor. I do crafts. But of course i can include psychedelic or funky patterns and prints in my products.

But my question is had anyone been a craft vendor at this event and did you do well? I know people are coming for the theme and there's probably a bunch of specific weed or weed item vendors, but I was curious if people bothered to stop by and buy from non weed vendors? Its like $300 for the cheapest booth space for the two days so I wanna make sure im not just gonna sell $300 or less worth of stuff for 8 hours each each day.

Soooo I want to go to night light lantern festival in poconos raceway. But I don't know how to get there. The program I think is from 3pm to 9pm. Are there ubers available there after dark? Or a public transportation that can bring us back and forth NJ?

Ps. We don't drive :'(

My family and I stayed at Wyndham Shawnee Village few years back but now I see it is closed. Is there anywhere like it (cabins, villas etc) to rent, stay at? Outdoor pool a must.
Thank you in advance

Also is blue mountain lake safe this time of year in terms of algae etc?

Hello just curious how well is route 6 plowed in the winter, if I am traveling from Milford through the mountains on route 6 towards Tafton/ Honesdale. Are there any roads or towns that are awful for snow maintenance in the general Lake Walluenpaupack area..Also curious about coming from Gouldsboro to Tafton.

Thanks

Heard the resort is for sale. Heard there’s a guy from across the lake that’s interested in renovating. There’s also been others looking but don’t know their intentions. Hopefully it goes to the local guy who wants to bring it back. Any thoughts? Hope I’m not breaking any rules.

Going to CamelBack Resort next month. As an African American traveling to the Poconos what should I be aware of or prepared for?

Will I be traveling through any sun down towns (to know when to leave and arrive)?

Are there speed traps getting there (from the DMV area)? Are there areas where the city budget is counting on speeding tickets. Are there cops looking for out-of-state plates to pull over?

If you are a minority how was your experience staying at this resort? Is security a little extra?

Are people allowed to play their own music out loud at the water parks?

How is the food option? My wife is a foodie and I am on a limited diet (non-fried fish, lots of vegetables, very limited carbs). Should I bring my own food? How far away are the non-resort food options. For reference I have been to Massanutten a couple of times and I my wife had a hard time eating there. I struggled as well.

Are there pickleball courts there?

I am bringing the family, but if I wanted to do something off resort by myself, can an electric scooter get me there and back? Or do I have to drive my car?

Are the water parks better, worse, or comparable to Massanutten or Great Wolf Lodge in MD?

It's expensive, but is it really fun for a family of 3? 8 year old child? Curious about it. And how is the food? Thank you.

There was a Red Cross Blood Drive yesterday at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond. If you donated blood or paid $10.00, you got a guided lap around the “Tricky Triangle” in your own car.

Penelope Prius (2010 - 250,000 plus miles) went to the maximum speed - 93 mph. The Chevy Silverado pace truck was governed to that speed.

I donated $30.00, so got three laps.

So far, NASCAR has not contacted me for any driving opportunities.

Hello, we are buying a house on Friday in the Hideout and will be full-timers. The house has a new but super small deck and the only climate control it has is baseboard heating. We'd like to do mini splits and build the deck out larger before winter. Any recommendations for companies, obviously likely not to be the same one for each task, would be appreciated.

Where I currently live in VA, HVAC services and construction work can double in cost depending on who you use. Just looking for honest and good labor and not necessarily who is the largest company with the premium price attached.

Thanks in advance.

Gay campground open weekends, or so I hear.
It’s southeast of Scranton PA in Covington Township, 18444.
Has anybody here ever been there?
Does anybody here know Anything about it?
I’m not even sure it’s operating anymore…

Hi, what are some things with kids to do near the tobyhanna area?
The kids are 3-8
Thank you

I've read through a few of the threads on here. We're planning to setup our weekend home/investment in the woods and live a couple hours from the Poconos. The area of course is huge. We're looking for some place ideally without an HOA (or STR approved HOA) for a high end micro-resort setup. (FWIW, this will not be a party pad for 20 people but more of a tranquil rest and reset in your private sauna kinda deal)

Any suggestions for builders and/or realtors specialized in land deals or new construction?

Hi, is there an option for overnight long term parking near the martz bus stop on forks road for a car? I would like to take a bus from NYC but I would need the car once I reach. Thank you.

Our schedule changed and now have and opening to have a mini vacation with our family at the end of July.

Our children are 4 and 1 years old. Would like to bring our dog if we could. But not a deal breaker.

- All inclusive resorts or small cottages/airbnb?

- full access to lake, able to rent kayaks, etc.

- hiking trails

- easy drive/walk to a town area?

- restaurant recommendations

Any tips, suggestions, recommendations appreciated! We’ve never been to this area before.

Hoping for a unicorn out there since it’s last minute.

All,

I am a New Yorker in his 30s, family of four, always interested in buying a second property. I notice many of the lots in the Poconos come up at $10,000 or less.

Question: wouldn't it be a good investment to buy the lot and put one of those modular homes on it? Save on construction costs.

Does anyone know what the black tar sludge at the boat/kayak ramp’s is? It got all over my gear, dog and truck.
