From going for a peaceful paddle to hiking along a stunning trail, there’s a little bit of everything to enjoy in the Pocono Mountains. To help you plan your adventures, we’ve made a list of seven of our favorite outdoor activities.

  1. Spend a day wandering a local hiking trail. In addition to our own paths, you can also explore trails at Prompton State Park and Promised Land State Park.

  3. For another type of golf, try your hand at disc golf. Our course features nine holes and covers almost a half mile of terrain. In addition to pickup games, we host tournaments throughout the year.
  4. Combine bumper cars with water, and you get bumper boats. The seasonal activity is a family favorite. Team up to soak other people, or use the hydro cannon to enjoy a bit of friendly rivalry with family or friends.

What to Know About This Poconos Train Ride

The Stourbridge Line is perhaps one of the most popular attractions near our Poconos resort.

Today, the train offers several regular and special event train rides from March through the holiday season.

  • Enjoy a delicious meal by booking the Dinner Train. Go for a scenic ride along the Lackawaxen River while dining on a three-course meal.
  • If you are staying with us during the fall, book a seat on the Pocono Foliage Express. This round-trip excursion from Honesdale along the Lackawaxen River offers some of the best views of the changing foliage.
  • The Santa Christmas Tree Express is a popular outing during the holiday season. The unique experience includes visiting Santa and other special, seasonal activities. You have your choice of departing from Honesdale or Hawley.

There are several other specialty rides available throughout the year, so check the calendar to see what adventures are available during your stay. When booking your excursion, check whether the ride departed from the Honesdale or Hawley station.

Keep the Fun Going at Our Poconos Resort

After embarking on a ride with The Stourbridge Line, return to Woodloch for even more fun. The grounds of our Pennsylvania resort are jam-packed with things to do, like archery tag, boat tours, go-karts, and so much more.

It’s never too early to plan your next golf-centric vacation. For any group looking to enjoy stunning views and challenging holes, there’s no better place to book your trip than Woodloch Springs. Available to guests at Woodloch and The Lodge at Woodloch, two phenomenal Pocono Mountain resorts, this golf club has been nationally recognized for a reason. However, what sets our Poconos golf course and club apart from others? Keep reading to find out!

A Championship Level Course

Our course truly offers some of the best golfing in the Pocono Mountains and beyond. In fact, GOLF Magazine named the par 72 course one of the finest courses in the country. All holes have four sets of tees and alternating pine placements, which means golfers of all skill levels can find a setup that works for them. Our signature 14th hole requires a 220-yard carry-over, “Hells Gate Gorge,” carved from the mountainside by rushing water.

Ability to Improve Your Game

A golf getaway is also the perfect time to hone your skills. We have two incredible ways of doing just that. Our indoor golf simulator allows you to play nine or eighteen holes even if Mother Nature puts a damper on your plans. There are a number of courses available, so you can play spots you may otherwise never be able to.

One of the best ways to become a better golfer is with our golf academy. Ensure you are using the right clubs with our club fitting. Learn from one of our knowledgeable and talented golf pros with a private lesson.

Memorable Tournaments

If you’re trying to figure out when to plan your vacation, consider timing your stay to coincide with one of our tournaments. We host several charity outings, tournaments, clinics, and pro-ams all season long. Whether hoping to participate or simply be a spectator, these events are the perfect main attraction of any golf getaway.

Book Your Unforgettable Trip to Our Poconos Resort

Plan your golf vacation to Woodloch, one of the best Pocono Mountains resorts, with our Stay & Play deal. This inclusive golf package for four or more adults includes accommodations in one of our Woodloch Springs vacation rentals, dinner at the Clubhouse, use of all facilities, and 18 holes of golf with a cart.
