Bushkill Falls
The “Niagara of Pennsylvania” — eight waterfalls linked by wooden bridges and forest boardwalks.
A PLACE THAT STAYS WITH YOU
Mountain lakes, waterfalls, and four-season resort life in Pennsylvania’s classic getaway range.
The Pocono Mountains have been the Northeast's escape valve for more than a century — 2,400 square miles of forested ridges, spring-fed lakes, and waterfall gorges within a two-hour drive of both New York and Philadelphia. The region wrote the book on the couples' resort and the family lake lodge, and today it layers modern indoor waterparks, casino entertainment, and spa resorts over the classic canoe-and-campfire landscape. Hike to Bushkill Falls' eight cascades, raft the Lehigh Gorge, ski Camelback or Jack Frost in winter, or simply take a pontoon out on Lake Wallenpaupack until the sun drops behind the ridge. Fall turns the entire range crimson and gold — one of the East Coast's great leaf-peeping displays. Your promotional package places you at a partner resort in the heart of the region.

Good to know before you go
When is the best time to visit the Poconos?
The region is genuinely four-season: June–August for lakes, late September–mid-October for peak foliage, December–March for ski resorts, and spring for waterfalls at full flow.
How far are the Poconos from New York City?
About 90 minutes to two hours by car from Manhattan, and roughly the same from Philadelphia — one of the closest true mountain regions to both metros.
What should we pack?
Layers. Mountain evenings run 10–15 degrees cooler than the cities, and waterfall trails call for real walking shoes even in summer.
