Leaf Peeping
Fall is among us! Fall brings cooler weather, leaf changes, it’s the kickoff to football season, the spookiness of Halloween and it is the commencement to the ever fast approaching holidays. Fall is arguably the best season to visit the Poconos.
The Pocono mountains are known for their beauty! Consisting of varied landscapes, that include over 150 lakes, waterfalls, and forested mountains. These beautiful mountains are home to over 127 different varieties of trees, shrubs, and plants, thus making fall the perfect time for a visit! The Poconos are one of the best places to see foliage in Pennsylvania. It's so good that USA Today has voted the Poconos one of the top 10 best destinations for fall foliage for the last four years. The mountains span across 2,400 miles creating three color zones allowing you to catch peak foliage 3 different times! The Foliage Calendar is updated every Thursday through October. It can be found by a quick google search or by calling 570-421-5565.
