While it may seem like summer has just started, the end of this popular vacation season is rapidly approaching. Squeeze in some last-minute fun by planning a Labor Day Weekend getaway to Woodloch. Our lakeside resort, tucked away in the Pocono Mountains, is the perfect destination for families looking to enjoy as much quality time together before school starts back up. Keep reading to learn about three things to keep in mind as you start planning your escape.

1. Research Our Different Accommodation Options

At Woodloch, we understand one-size-fits-all lodging doesn’t always work. We offer several different accommodations because we host groups of all sizes and budgets. This includes hotel-style rooms, which are included in our inclusive rate plans, and inclusive plan on-site vacation rentals. For even more options, check out the Woodloch Springs vacation rentals. While all of these lodging styles are fantastic, one might fit your stay better than the others.

2. Create a Rough Itinerary

Between our on-site activities and things to do in the surrounding area, you never have to worry about someone getting bored. With so many choices of what to do, it’s a good idea to put together some kind of rough itinerary or list of things you want to do during your stay. This could include enjoying some of the last days of summer weather out in nature at spots like Promised Land State Park or playing a round at Woodloch Springs, our championship golf course.

3. Look for Ways to Save

The cost of vacations can add up quickly, but there are ways to keep things more manageable. One is looking to see what special offers are available before booking your stay. Another is looking for free things to do in the area while also taking advantage of all the things to do that are included in your stay.

Sometimes, there’s no better way to spend your day than out on the water. For anyone planning their next getaway to Woodloch, there are several ways to explore the beauty of the Poconos from the water, like kayaking excursions and boat tours. For a fun yet relaxing adventure on your Pocono Mountains vacation, cast your line fishing. 

Where to Go Fishing in Pennsylvania

Before you decide which of the incredible local waterways to fish in, it’s important you make sure you have a valid fishing license. These are required for anglers ages 16 and up, and you can purchase them online before your visit.

When deciding where to cast your line, there are several excellent options.

  • Our Poconos Resort is found on the shores of Lake Teedyuskung. We even have docks scattered on our lakefront that are the perfect place to settle in with your rod. These waters are ideal for catching perch, pike, walleye, bass, and sunfish.
  • Another great close option is Lake Wallenpaupak, which covers 5,700 acres. What you might find on the end of your line depends on what end of the lake you’re fishing. The northern end is known for walleye and a few types of bass, while the southern end is home to largemouth bass and bluegill. You can also find calico and perch in the middle area.
  • If you’re looking to catch trout, head to Promised Land Lake. The 422-acre spot is home to brook, rainbow, and brown trout. Other fish species found here include sunfish, catfish, and large and smallmouth bass.

Let Guides Show You Around

You don’t have to set out on a fishing adventure on your own! One of the best ways to increase your chances of reeling in a big one is by letting a Poconos fishing guide show you around. There are several knowledgeable guides to book through, including Ray’s Fishing Guide Service and Hooked Up Guide Service.
