Nestled in the heart of the scenic Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania, Skytop Lodge invites you to discover an abundance of seasonal adventures, charming towns, historic sites, and natural wonders. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a romantic escape, or an active outdoor vacation, this region delivers, and we’re right in the middle of it all.
The Poconos are a true four-season destination: lush and inviting in summer, ablaze with color in fall, serene (and snowy) in winter, and fresh with new life in spring. According to regional travel guides, each season brings its own unique draw, from water recreation and wildflower hikes to skiing and cozy firesides.
At Skytop Lodge, we’re ideally placed to take full advantage of that. With 5,500 acres of woods, lakes, and trails right on our doorstep, we’re both your basecamp and your gateway.
Here’s a seasonal tour of things to do, places to explore around the Poconos, and how you can make the most of your stay.
As the snow melts and days grow warmer, the Poconos awaken with vibrant greenery, wildflowers, boating, and hiking. The region’s lakes and rivers beckon, whether you’re cruising on the water, fishing, or kayaking.
Summer at Skytop is about long days, fresh air, laughter with loved ones, and being immersed in nature. The laughter of kids building lakeside memories, the quiet of a paddle on a lake at dawn, the ease of a casual evening stroll under the trees, it’s all here.
When autumn arrives, the Poconos transform. Leaves blaze in reds and golds, crisp air invites outdoor adventure, and the rhythm slows into something more reflective and warm. Fall festivals, scenic drives, hikes in riotous color, this is a peak Poconos season.
Fall at Skytop is ideal for families and couples alike: children can romp outdoors, adults can savor the view, and everyone can gather for memorable moments beneath the trees.
When winter settles in, the Poconos become a playground for snow lovers. Skiing, tubing, ice skating, and fire-lit evenings make the region shine. According to regional coverage, winter is “the Poconos’ prime time” for mixing outdoor activity and cozy relaxation.
Winter at Skytop is where nature’s drama meets retreat comfort, a perfect combination for couples, families, and all-ages groups.
Beyond the outdoors, the Poconos region has a rich heritage and charming towns waiting to be explored, perfect for a lighter activity day or when you want a break from high-energy outings.
Here’s how to optimize your trip, and tailor it to your group, season, and interests:
No matter the season, the Poconos offer richness, outdoor adventures, natural beauty, town charm, historic context, and the kind of atmosphere that inspires connection and renewal. At Skytop Lodge, you’re at the heart of it all, and you don’t have to leave comfort behind. From rugged trails to festive foliage, icy slopes to tranquil lakes, and historic town strolls to shopping detours, there’s an experience here for every traveler.
We invite you to experience the Poconos in all its seasonal glory, and to return year after year, discovering something new with each visit. Whether it’s family fun, romance, history, or nature, your next escape is waiting here.
