Things To Do in the Poconos
Can’t Miss Activities
Mountain Springs Lake Resort offers a quiet retreat set off the beaten path while also located in close proximity to most major attractions of the Poconos Mountains. Though you may find it difficult to leave once you’ve entered our gates, find plenty of things to do in the Poconos. Discover our seasonal activities and reach out to guest services for questions or area recommendations during your stay.
Paddle, Bike, Hike
The great outdoors are one of the Poconos’ greatest assets. Try your hand at whitewater rafting with Pocono Whitewater or Whitewater Rafting Adventures, both on the Lehigh River. If two wheels are more your speed, rent a bike from Pocono Biking. Hop aboard the scenic bike train or reserve a multi-day bike trip. And don’t miss hiking through pristine forests, from your cabin at Mountain Springs Lake to Bushkill Falls.
Parks
Find something for the whole family at Poconos parks. Some of our favorites include Big Pocono State Park, Lehigh Gorge State Park and even the 45-mile portion of the Appalachian Trail that runs through the Poconos. Whether you want to hike, bike or play, our parks are world-class.
Shopping
Shop ‘til you drop at Crossings Premium Outlets, just five minutes from Mountain Springs Lake Resort. From off-the-rack favorites to incredible sales, there are over 100 stores to visit at Crossings alone. And with no sales tax on clothing, it’s the perfect place to stock your closet. For more unique finds, head to world-class antique shops to go treasure hunting.
Food & Drink
Whether you’re looking for a quick bite from the drive-thru to a romantic dinner for two, find delicious dining in the Poconos. Nearby restaurants include Frogtown Inn, Andrew Moore’s Stone Bar Inn and Smuggler’s Cove. Oenophile’s will love the Pocono Wine Trail and don’t miss the burgeoning craft beer scene. Be sure to give guest services a call for personalized recommendations.
Amusement Parks & Ski Resorts
Come for the thrills and stay for the fun at nearby amusement parks. Bring the kids to Camelback Resort with the Camelback Outdoor Waterpark or take it indoors at Great Wolf Lodge. If you're hoping to stay dry, head to Pocono Go-Karts for go-kart racing, miniature golf and paintball. During winter, hit the slopes for skiing, snowboarding and snowtubing. Mountain Springs Lake Resort is 30-minutes from four ski-resorts, including Camelback Mountain.
Events
Sway along to the tones of bluegrass at the Poconos Bluegrass Winterfest or welcome autumn at Stroudfest. Mark your calendars for events happening during your stay.
