Poconos by Season
Winter Activities in the Pocono Mountains
Plan snowy days near the slopes and quieter evenings back at Mountain Springs Lake Resort.
Winter in the Poconos can mean skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, snowy walks, cross-country skiing, shopping, indoor attractions, or simply slowing down in a warm cabin or adult-only luxury suite surrounded by woods and lake views.
What to Do in Winter

Pocono ski resorts offer snow-tubing options throughout the winter when conditions allow. Check the individual mountain's operating schedule before your trip.
Snowy Trails
Explore winter scenery on foot, snowshoes, or cross-country skis when snow and trail conditions permit, both around the resort and at regional public lands.
Indoor Winter Days
Shopping, restaurants, indoor attractions, casinos, and waterparks give you plenty of options when you want a break from the cold.
A Slower Side of Winter
Snowshoeing, Cross-Country Skiing & Winter Walks
Downhill skiing is only one way to enjoy a Pocono winter. When snow conditions cooperate, wooded trails can become a quieter setting for winter walks, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing.
Mountain Springs Lake Resort's wooded property gives guests room to enjoy the season close to their accommodation. Regional parks and recreation areas provide additional options for guests who want a longer winter outing.
Winter at the Resort
Quiet Scenery Between Your Pocono Adventures
Mountain Springs Lake Resort stays open through winter with year-round cabins and adult-only luxury suites. Snow can transform the private lake, wooded roads, bridges, cabins, and trails into a very different setting from the summer season.
Enjoy the view, take a winter walk when conditions allow, or simply head back inside to your fireplace, kitchen, or comfortable suite after a day in the mountains.
A frozen lake or pond should never be assumed safe for walking, skating, or other recreation. Follow current resort guidance and use frozen water only if Mountain Springs Lake Resort specifically confirms an area is open for that activity.
Where to Stay
Warm Up in a Cabin or Adult-Only Luxury Suite
