Things to Do at Big Pocono State Park
Woodloch is nestled in the beautiful Pocono Mountains offering endless outdoor adventures for our guests. You could easily spend your entire vacation at our resort, but if you are interested in getting out and exploring the nearby area, then this post is for you! Big Pocono State Park is just over an hour from Woodloch and offers incredible hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife watching. Gather your family and discover all of the things to do at Big Pocono State Park!
Go for a Hike
There are eight miles of trails available for hiking at Big Pocono State Park. Most paths are rugged and steep since the park is on Camelback Mountain. If your family is up for the challenge, you will be rewarded with spectacular mountain views and local flora. Walk through forests as you look for wild blueberry, mountain laurel, and rhododendron on the trails.
Explore the Mountain Biking Trails
Embark on a bike ride in the mountains with the family! Mountain biking is available on the South Trail and North Lower Loop trails. Start on the South Trail, where you will bike steep terrain with a 600-foot elevation change. The route then connects to the North Trail Lower Loop, which offers a flatter and more leisurely ride.
Plan a Family Picnic
Big Pocono State Park is the perfect place for a summer picnic. There are three picnic areas in the park with tables and charcoal grills. Take in beautiful views of Camelback Mountain as you enjoy the summer breeze. Pack lunch, snacks, and juice boxes, and set up your picnic in the park together!
Watch for Local Wildlife
While hiking, biking, or enjoying your picnic, keep an eye out for local wildlife. Common species include rabbits, coyotes, deer, fox, raccoon, ruffled grouse, squirrel, and turkey. See how many wildlife species you can spot during your day trip at Big Pocono State Park.
