Hiking in the Poconos Exceptional terrain with spectacular views of waterfalls, rivers, lakes and evergreen forests: the Pocono Mountains offer 2,400 square miles of natural beauty for hikers. Here are some phenomenal places to trek in the Poconos: Austin T. Blakeslee Natural Area, Route 115, Blakeslee—approximately 130 acres of protected land featuring waterfalls that create deep pools of water bordered by rock-strewn banks. Walk along the Creek Trail to the lookout for an awesome view of the falls. Big Pocono State Park, Camelback Road, Tannersville—Steep and rough grades are appropriate for experienced, physically fit hikers. Bushkill Falls, Route 209, Bushkill— Property features eight tumbling waterfalls. As one of Pennsylvania’s
most beautiful and dramatic natural sights, Bushkill Falls makes an ideal day trip for hikers. Trails and bridges wind through the area and into a lush, emerald green forest. Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, River Road, Bushkill—40 miles of the Delaware River roar within the park that is a sanctuary for eagles, bears and rattlesnakes, among other wildlife species. Raymondskill Falls at Dingmans Falls Visitors Center, 224 Dingmans Falls Road, Dingmans Ferry—The tallest waterfall in the state, Raymondskill measures a mere four feet shorter than Niagara. Gouldsboro State Park, Route 507, Tobyhanna—Rugged terrain makes hiking in this Northern Pocono park challenging, but fun.
