ften referred to as “the best kept secret in the Poconos” Lake Naomi has been a recreation destination for over 120 years! Originally conceived as an ice harvesting lake, Lake Naomi was one of the first tourist destinations in the Pocono Mountains from as early as 1895.

Boasting a sprawling 277 acre private lake nestled within over 2,500 acres of wooded home sites, Lake Naomi Club’s commitment to amenities and listing in the Platinum Club of

America’s elite ranks, makes Lake Naomi a truly unique recreational community. Secluded in 25,500 acres of state game lands and a dense greenbelt along the shorelines, keeps lake views of this pristine destination truly timeless.

Club features include three lakes and seven beaches, an Olympic sized lakeside heated pool, eighteen HarTru tennis courts, 9-hole golf course, snack bars, fine dining and several full service restaurants. A second heated outdoor pool with climbing wall, multi-million dollar 29 acre recreation center with indoor pool, fitness center, game rooms, walking trails, Dog Park, garden and sports fields offer outstanding recreation opportunities. When asking long time members Bill and Bethany Schiebel about Lake Naomi the pair responds, “Fantastic,” adding, “There’s always something to do.” Coming to the lake since the 1940’s, Bethany has also shared many Lake Naomi summers, weekends and holidays with Bill and their children. Now full-time residents, fond memories for the couple entwine with new as frequent visits from children and grandchildren offer added opportunities to embrace family.

Seasonal sensations seem unceasing for Lake Naomi with Camelback and Jack Frost/Big Boulder ski resorts just minutes away, making it an ideal ski retreat. Spring brings trout fishing, new fawns and wildflowers watercolors, while fall ignites fiery foliage walks followed by time beside cozy fires. Summer memories contain sunsets and music at Club Beach after long days of tennis, golf, sailing and swimming with friends and family.

This Week’s Fun Fact comes from the Pennsylvania Game Commissio n’s William Williams.

Did you know...While one welcomed sign of spring, besides calm winds and above freezing temperatures, continues to be the sound of our fine feathered friends’ blissful chirping chatter; the courtship activity of the woodcock takes things just a bit further.

Male timberdoodles establish singing grounds in wet woodland and field clearings where they “peent” to attract females. Flying upwards of 300 feet on twittering wings before spiraling back to earth in a zigzag pattern sounding a liquid warbling song, he sets his sights on “wooing” the females.

This intriguing exhibit sounds strangely similar to some of the playful winter slope antics we all may have demonstrated at times... doesn’t it?

Creativity

amelback Mountain Resort maintains monumental status as host to a stellar lineup of creative events and entertaining sights igniting the outdoor enthusiast in all. Sending the winter season out with a bang tends to be a highly anticipated tradition with this Tannersville destination happy to oblige at March 19 & 20’s Parking Lot Party.

“cardboard chariots” in toe ready to race their opponent down the Sunbowl chute. There’s four to a “vehicle” age six and up with judging based on Best Time, Best in Show and Best Dismount. Registration to participate is free and runs 10 to noon, with donations suggested benefiting local dog rescues Hope for Hannah and Boomer’s Angels.

Their ever-popular Pond Skimming event is set for Saturday from 1:30 to 3 p.m. It’s where the more outlandish the outfit brandished the better as you sail down a slope set to soar across a pool of icy water. Sink or skim they say, because whether on skis or snowboard, the object is to cruise all the way!

Whether planning to participate or standing beyond the starting gate, there are certainly sights to be had, as well as fabulous food, music and more! Camelback’s Parking Lot Party schedule runs 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days.

Come on back Sunday for more with Camelback’s Cardboard Box Derby from 1 to 3 p.m. Riders are raring to go with uniquely designed

Camelback Mountain Resort Easy to get to just off I-80 at Exit 299 Tannersville Then just follow the signs to Camelback www.skicamelback.com
