Check out the activities page and even sort them by each season to glimpse the exciting variety of activities you can do! Here’s what awaits when you make Skytop your family’s go-to resort.
Winter at Skytop is truly magical. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted by a glittering landscape and twinkling lights that transform the lodge into a holiday wonderland. Our cozy fireplaces invite you to warm up after a day outdoors, while our winter activities offer endless entertainment.
Skytop’s snow tubing hill offers a fun and safe experience for families with younger children. While the hill may be on the smaller side—best suited for toddlers and younger kids—it’s still an excellent way for little ones to enjoy the snow. If you’re traveling with older children, consider pairing this activity with our ski trails or guided snowshoeing hikes, which provide an adventure that appeals to a broader range of ages. Rest assured, we have safety measures for all our activities, including trained staff, equipment checks, and clear guidelines, ensuring a worry-free experience for your family.
For a tranquil winter experience, bundle up and join our guided snowshoeing hikes. With every crunch of snow underfoot, you’ll be captivated by the serene winter landscape and fresh mountain air. Afterward, gather by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa (or a warm mulled cider for the adults) and bask in the peace of a day well spent.
While winter brings snow and holiday cheer, summer at Skytop is a paradise of green trails, shimmering lakes, and endless outdoor activities. For families passionate about hiking, we have miles of family-friendly trails offering the proper challenge for every age. Skytop has everything from short walks with scenic views to more adventurous treks through the forest.
Cool off at our lake with family paddle boating or fishing — an activity sure to delight kids and adults alike. We’re here to make summer days unforgettable, whether picnics by the lake, archery on the field, or spending an afternoon learning golf with our pro instructors.
When the leaves start to change, the Poconos become a spectacle of red, orange, and gold — and the fall at Skytop is unlike anything else. Our hiking trails come alive with color, creating the perfect backdrop for family photos and outdoor exploration. Take a guided family hike to enjoy the fall foliage and let the kids roam our wide-open spaces with nature-inspired scavenger hunts. These hikes are about the destination, journey, and memories you create.
Fall weekends bring out the best in Skytop’s culinary scene, too. Join us for seasonal farm-to-table dining experiences that showcase autumn’s bounty with locally sourced ingredients prepared by our skilled chefs. And don’t forget to make room for dessert — seasonal pies and warm treats await.
At Skytop, dining isn’t just a meal; it’s a family experience. Our on-site restaurants offer various options, from casual bites to fine dining, with menus crafted to satisfy every taste.
Windsor serves traditional cuisine in a classic setting for breakfast and dinner. Enjoy the gorgeous views from the dining room as you savor your meal together. If you’re looking for more breathtaking views, Lakeview offers just that on our golf course. Gather fireside on the patio or settle in for a contemporary Mediterranea dinner. Another fantastic spot is our Taproom, where you can revel in a more relaxed atmosphere. Parents can unwind with a craft beer or glass of wine while the kids enjoy burgers and sandwiches. We even have fireside s’mores, a sweet treat that brings everyone together after a busy day.
At Skytop, we know that one of the greatest gifts you can give your family is time together — away from screens and daily routines. Skytop Lodge is a place where you can unplug, slow down, and reconnect. Our sprawling grounds are made for exploration and play, inviting families to roam freely and enjoy quality time with each other.
