And our premier Woodloch resort offers access to the best fall activities in the region. Read on to discover just a few reasons why fall in the Poconos is the absolute best!

Incredible Fall Foliage

Every year the greenery of the Poconos Mountains transforms into a sea of vibrant colors. Crimson, orange, and yellow leaves dot the landscape, creating some of the most beautiful fall foliage in the country. At Woodloch Resort, you can see the splendor of fall on our nature trails.

Perfect Weather for Paddling

The crisp fall temperatures in Pennsylvania are the best time of year to get out and enjoy outdoor activities. Use our on-site kayaks at Woodloch and take in Poconos fall foliage from the water. And if you are looking for more places to kayak, head to Lake Wallenpaupack for even more paddling adventures.
