Snowmobiling in the Poconos near Woodloch

When winter arrives in the Poconos, the forested trails transform into a winter playground for snowmobilers. There are thousands of snowmobile trails throughout Pennsylvania’s forests available for exploration. You can access several of these trails a short drive away from Woodloch. This winter activity offers a unique and exciting way to get outside and explore the region’s natural beauty. Here are the top spots to go snowmobiling in the Poconos near our family resort.

Promised Land State Park

Approximately 30 minutes from Woodloch is the 3,000 acre Promised Land State Park. Over 23 miles of groomed trails are designated for snowmobiles during the winter months. Make sure to check the conditions of the trails here before you make the drive to the park. Since Promised Land State Park is within Delaware State Forest, you can easily access the nearby trails there.

Delaware State Forest

The Promised Land Tract connects Promised Land State Park and Delaware State Forest so you can easily continue your snowmobiling adventure. There are 115 miles of trails available for both long and short rides. There are several groomed trail systems, including:

  • Edgemere Trail: This trail is almost 60 miles predominantly in Pike County.
  • Dixon Miller Recreation Area: This 15-mile winter trail is a popular spot for snowmobiling in Pennsylvania. The terrain is hard-packed and smooth, making it ideal for winter exploration. Expect to ride past scenic views of the Pocono Mountains and snow-covered trees.
  • Snow Hill Trail: You can pick up this snowmobiling trail off Route 447 in Price Township. This route will take you through wooded trails and past frozen creeks and lakes.

A Snowmobiling Vacation in PA

After exploring the beautiful winter scenery of snowmobiling in the Poconos, return to Woodloch. End the day with a delicious meal in the dining room, then join us for nightly entertainment at the resort. Continue celebrating winter with our on-site activities like ice skating, or snow tubing. Learn all about what’s included at Woodloch, and start planning your winter vacation in the Poconos today!

Exhilarating Snow Tubing in the Poconos

Exhilarating Snow Tubing in the Poconos

Photo of a person snow tubing in the poconos at Woodloch

If you’ve gone sledding, then you already know how much fun sliding down a snowy hill can be. Snow tubing is basically the same thing, except you are riding down an inflatable tube instead. Snow tubing in the Poconos provides exhilarating fun for the whole family. All you have to do is sit tight, hold on, and let gravity do the rest! 

Snow Tubing at Woodloch

We offer snow tubing in the Pocono Mountains right on the property at Woodloch. We even make our own snow so that you can enjoy this winter activity when nature-made snow is scarce. Sliding down the hill as you take in the fresh mountain air is truly something everyone will love. We have two options for snow tubing at Woodloch. You can either get a running start or sit down and let the release mechanism drop you at a less drastic angle. The latter is an excellent option for parents who want to go snow tubing with their kids. Join in on the fun at Woodloch!

Snow Tubing at Ski Big Bear

If you want to experience even more snow tubing in the Poconos, then make the drive to Ski Big Bear. The snow tubing chute is approximately 500 feet of exhilarating fun! And you don’t have to worry about hiking back up the hill; hop on the magic carpet lift to get back to the top. Tubing tickets are sold by session, which means you will have a set time for tubing. All participants must be at least 42” tall, even if participating with a parent or adult. We highly recommend buying your tickets ahead of time so you can guarantee your time on the hill. 

The All-Inclusive Experience

When you stay at Woodloch, you will have access to all of our on-site amenities and activities. After a chilly day of snow tubing in the Poconos, warm up with a delicious meal in the dining room. Then the kids can enjoy indoor amenities like our swimming pool or participate in one of the 30 daily activities. Evenings feature kids’ entertainment such as magicians or balloon artists that is a great way to conclude your day at Woodloch. Book your next family vacation at Woodloch, and we’ll have fun waiting for you when you arrive.

Midwinter Recess At Woodloch!

Once the glow and glimmer of the holidays trickles past us, there’s no denying we can all find ourselves in a little bit of a slump. Going back to work and school, while necessary, becomes no easy task. The days and weeks seem to clump together in a mass of “blah.”

But alas, not all is lost. If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that our professional and scholastic endeavors can continue virtually through the magic of the worldwide web. The earth has never been “flatter” so to speak- connection to our obligations is no further than a click and a Zoom call away. That allows us to go ahead and maybe even break a couple rules every once in a while. The bosses are none the wiser.

Lessen the blow of the winter doldrums with a little family escape to Woodloch this winter. Whether you’re going for that marquee holiday vacation or just sneaking off the grid for a few random cold days, we think you’ll find plenty of fun to be had here!

THE SNOW ZONE

One of the best things about our resort during the winter is an (over)abundance of SNOW. Mother Nature’s grand scheme is irrelevant when you’ve got an artillery of snow cannons at your beck and call. We create our first flakes once temperatures hit 20 degrees and continue fluffing up powder all season long. That means days of snowtubing for all interested and willing parties!

Classic Pocono Mountain skiing is not too far away either! Ski Big Bear at Masthope features 18 trails and 7 lifts and is the absolute PERFECT place to bring a young skier to learn! You can even score discount lift tickets through our front desk…

FOR THE KIDDOS

Winter amusements go far beyond frolicking through snow! Busy winter days for young Woodlochians include a feast of activities indoors and out! Go karting, archery, and a covered skating rink will give youngins the chance to bask in the mountain fresh air while they smile the days away.

Warming up from the chilly air is as simple as taking a dip in our heated indoor pool, kiddie splash area and our indoor waterslide complex. Cookies and cocoa are always fresh at our Gigi’s Coffee House! Running around our indoor “Forest” playground complex certainly burns off any excess energy little tykes might have left in the tank while a spin on the bumper cars brings back that classic amusement park memories of days past.

FOR THE GROWN UPS

There’s a lot we can learn from our children. Suffice it to say, adults can probably stand to cut loose a little more often though we sometimes lack the energy and conviction of our younger counterparts.

Luckily, a Woodloch escape provides the necessary tools to (sort of) fully embrace winter’s majesty. For the bold and adventurous, trapshooting, and even winter disc golf provide plenty of opportunities to explore the snowy Pocono landscape. Great trivia games, wine tasting, art classes and of course hot tubs are just about the perfect way to unwind after a busy day in the elements.

Speaking of relaxation, a beautiful destination spa is just two minutes down the road at The Lodge at Woodloch. Recognized by both Travel + Leisure and Conde Nast, this world class luxury retreat offers treatments, classes and lectures, and gourmet dining beyond compare. It’s the perfect way to truly immerse yourself in winter’s majesty.

FROSTY FUN FOR ALL

Of course, we weren’t voted “Best Family Resort in America” this year for nothing! Between big team activities like Scavenger Hunt and Olympics, medal-earning contests including tube races and “Bullseye” Soccer, and nightly entertainment featuring world-class magicians, jugglers and live music, opportunities for quality time together simply never cease.

With the ability to work remotely, there’s never been an easier opportunity to sneak away from the winter grind for a few days. A little bit of frosty fun just might be what the doctor ordered- we won’t tell if you don’t.
