The Best Things to Do in the Poconos for Adults on Vacation

A group of people golfing, one of the best things to do in the Poconos for adults.

When you think of an adults-only vacation, you probably think of a trip for two or a bachelor/bachelorette party. However, these types of getaways are also ideal for groups of friends. If you’re planning an adults-only escape, book your stay at The Lodge at Woodloch, Woodloch’s sister resort. 

Because our Poconos resort is only open to those ages 16 and older, it is better suited for couples and other adult-only groups. Between the on-site activities and those found nearby, you and your friends will have plenty of things to do from sunrise to sunset.

What to Do in the Poconos on Your Kid-Free Getaway

  1. Enjoy a cold one at some of the best local breweries within an hour’s drive from the resort. Start at Wallenpaupack Brewing Company before moving on to Hopping Eagle Brewing Company or The Wake Zone.
  2. If you prefer a good glass of vino or a perfectly hand-crafted cocktail, reserve a spot at our Wine & Cocktail Tastings. Offered six days a week, an experienced sommelier will give you an in-depth look into the characteristics of wine and seasonal cocktails.
  3. Play a round of golf at Woodloch Springs. Recognized by Golf Digest as one of the “Best Places to Play,” the course features four sets of tees and is the perfect challenge for golfers of all skill levels.
  4. Check out our lineup of upcoming speakers and events. We work to bring inspirational and motivational speakers to our resort who’ll help guests gain a deeper understanding of health, healing, love, spirituality, and more.
  5. Spend a day wandering antique stores. This is a great option for guests who drive to our resort; just make sure you have room in your car for the treasures you’re sure to find. We recommend visiting The Loft Antiques, Miss Elly’s Antiques & Such, and Hawley Antique Exchange.

A Look at the Average Weather in Hawley, Pennsylvania

No matter the time of year, there’s no shortage of things to do during a Woodloch vacation. Found in the picturesque Poconos region, our all-inclusive resort is known for four seasons of fun. While there’s no bad time to stay with us, certain seasons might fit your ideal activities better. To help you plan when to book your stay, we’ve compiled a handy cheatsheet of what the weather in Hawley, Pennsylvania, looks like throughout the year.

Spring

From March through May, daily highs start to rise. On average, you can expect temperatures in the low-70s during the day, with lows dipping to the mid-50s. See Mother Nature start to come to life by spending a day at Big Pocono State Park.

Summer

Summer in the Poconos can only be described as idyllic. Daily highs rarely fall below 60 degrees and generally sit around the mid-70s. Even daily lows are pleasant! Cool off by going for a dip in local lakes like Lake Wallenpaupack, or relax around the fire pit swapping ghost stories.

Fall

The cooler temperatures of fall are what give our landscape its golden and amber hues. Daily highs decrease to the mid-40s, which means you can still spend time outdoors as long as you’re dressed appropriately. Take in breathtaking fall foliage by hiking to area waterfalls. We recommend Little Falls or Bushkill Falls.

Winter

If you love the cold and snow of winter, our resort is the place for you. Temperatures are cold enough for snow to fly without hitting subzero conditions. All of this means you can enjoy popular winter activities, like snow tubing down our hill or skiing at Ski Big Bear.
