The Poconos have long been the vacation spot for those fleeing the confines of New York City, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. Once known as the "honeymoon capital of the world," the Poconos today are a great spot for anyone, including honeymooners, seeking a relaxing stay or an active vacation.  The area is chock full of historical places to visit and local activities to participate in.  The region has over 2400 square miles of lakes, rivers, mountains, streams, and forests that provide ample opportunity for active endeavors. A day in the Poconos can include hiking, water skiing, snow skiing, kayaking, canoeing, golfing, swimming, parasailing, fishing, sailing, snowmobiling, bicycling, and just about any other activity one can imagine!
