As one of the leading Pennsylvania resorts, the Woodloch Resort is chock-full of family fun when it comes to fall, October, Halloween, and everything SPOOKTACULAR.

A Haunted Night

If you’re looking for a frightful evening, head out on our haunted hayride which is sure to get your heart racing! When October hits our Pennsylvania resorts property turns into a scare-fest! We recommend that you hop aboard our nightly hayride, but only if you dare… our annual ride is ideal for those who like to be spooked during this time of the year. Our woods are dotted with monsters, ghosts, ghouls; you might even see a few explosions along the way.

We do have to say that this activity at Woodloch Resorts is not suited for the littlest ghouls in your group or anyone who can’t handle the intense nature of this scary adventure.

Pennsylvania Resorts – Top Springtime Activities in the Pocono Mountains

Top Springtime Activities in the Pocono Mountains

As a large portion of the United States gets bombarded by snowstorms and subzero temperatures, it’s easy to start daydreaming about a springtime family escape to the Pocono Mountains. While we all love snow tubing, ice skating, and alpine skiing, there’s something genuinely special about that first spring vacation – the fresh smell of blooming flowers, the soothing sound of chirping native birds, and the heavenly feeling of paddling through a still lake. Woodloch Resort has been helping families bond through a wide variety of homegrown activities, games, and events since we opened our doors in 1958. We’re one of the only Pennsylvania resorts with a private, sizable lake — home to more springtime memories than we can count.

Top Things to Try in the Poconos This Spring

With dozens of outdoor activities to choose from here in Hawley, PA, you won’t have time to worry about work, and your children definitely won’t have the urge to check their smartphones. We’ve hand-selected four of our favorite springtime activities that aren’t available in the wintertime.

pennsylvania resorts
  • Golfing – The Country Club at Woodloch Springs is our 18-hole, par-72 championship course, set deep in the Pocono Mountains wilderness. Groups, couples, and families with teenagers flock to our award-winning golf course every spring after daydreaming about putting for birdie ever since the first flake of snow landed in early winter. We provide private lessons, golf instructions, club fitting, and playing lessons for those looking to improve their game.
  • Kayaking – Arguably the best way to explore Lake Teedyuskung is by hopping aboard a complimentary kayak. Woodloch Resort has a fleet of kayaks in vibrant hues near the water’s edge. Kayaking is a one or two-person activity, depending on the vessel, but we encourage families to paddle through our serene lake in packs (as seen in the photo above). Many groups trek down to the southern edge of the lake where you’ll discover West Falls Creek.
  • The Climbing Wall – One of the most challenging outdoor activities at our family resort is the artificial, 30-foot-tall rock climbing wall. This skinny wall towers into the clear blue sky, standing nearly as high as the surrounding trees. The climbing wall builds strength, teaches perseverance, and is a ton of fun (especially if you reach the peak)!

Premier Pennsylvania Resorts

We wouldn’t have become one of the best family resorts in North America without creating a wide array of complimentary homegrown activities, such as trapshooting, go-carting, and the outdoor drum circle. Your well-deserved Poconos getaway can also include inclusive family-style dining, complimentary live entertainment, and deluxe lake-view accommodations. Please give us a call today at 1-800-966-3562, or visit us online at Woodloch.com to book a springtime adventure into the vast Pocono Mountains!

    Scenic Two-Hour Drive

This two-hour drive is the perfect opportunity to catch your breath after a long week in the city.

    Endless Fun and Excitement

    There is no wrong way to experience Woodloch: water ski on Lake Teedyuskung, watch a hilarious comedic performance or race around the property on a go-kart. Check our extensive activities and entertainment for a complete list of all-inclusive activities. If you’re interested in seeing what an average day is like at Woodloch, take a peek at an activity schedule.

    Visiting Woodloch in Autumn

September signifies back to school for many, but here in the beautiful tranquil Poconos, this month marks the beginning of autumn. Visit Woodloch in September and October for less traffic and tourists, unlimited family fun, and breathtaking fall colors. Don’t forget to enjoy one of our autumn hayrides, pulled by two majestic white horses.
