RV Rental Pocono Manor, PA

A common reason to rent a travel trailer in Pocono Manor is to, of course, explore the wilderness without having to endure rocky soil and leaky tents. The closest mountain are the Pocono Mountains, which covers over 2,400 square miles of dense woods and rolling hills. The mountains have several picturesque waterfalls, which will thrill any nature photographer, and hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, some tame, and others challenging. Whitewater rafting (particularly in late spring), boating, fishing, and swimming are all popular water activities, as well.

The Poconos is very likely the first to commercialize skiing, thanks to a local inventor who created a machine that could make artificial snow.

Most areas have beginner and intermediate slopes. For the skilled and more adventurous skiers, there are black diamond and double-diamond slopes, too. Though not the oldest, the largest ski area is Camelback in Tannersville, which boasts 39 trails.

There are several state game lands in the area in which hunting and trapping are allowed during the appropriate seasons.

Black bear and elk are permitted, though the hunting seasons for either are very short and there is a strict limit on bags (one bear per year, for example). Hunting in Pennsylvania is highly regulated, and the rangers and managers have been known to enact hefty fines for violations. Be sure to obtain the appropriate licenses. Hiking and biking are welcomed on the state game lands, though there are not as many established trails and conditions may be rugged. Mushroom and berry picking are also popular activities.
