Big Pocono State Park
Located in the northeast portion of the state, close to the border, Big Pocono is one of the best opportunities for recreation in the entire mountain chain. It provides a beautiful side trip from the nearby resort towns of the Poconos.

Camelback Mountain provides outdoor adventurers several recreation options, which change with the seasons. Upon reaching its summit through a series of rugged trails, you are afforded a wonderful view of gently rolling hills and the surrounding states, on a clear day. The miles of trails here are well travelled, but retain their rustic charm.

In the winter, Camelback has some of the best skiing in the region. Thousands flock here to slink down the smooth thick mounds of snow offered up by average Pennsylvania winters. The park is very close to civilization, but it’s hard to tell when you’re engulfed in a lush Pocono forest. There are no campgrounds on site, but try nearby Tobyhanna State Park to extend your stay.
