The City
The guide was updated:
While not your typical "city," the Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania were divided into five regions for simplicity. Spanning the Mountain Region, Lake Region, Delaware River Region, Upper Delaware River Region, and Lehigh River Gorge Region, the Mountains have emerged as one of the northeast's most frequented vacation destinations.
Philadelphia Quakers initially began the onslaught of interested vacationers when they constructed the Buck Hill Falls, Pocono Manor, and Skytop resorts in the early 20th century. Since then the Poconos have remained quite popular for their wealth of natural beauty and outdoors recreations.
Visitors thusly enjoy their choice of six natural areas, seven state parks, 17 state game lands, and one national park. Take your pick from watersports, fishing, hunting, and more. White-tailed deer, wild turkeys, ruffed grouse, and other wildlife thrive in the area.
