Set Off and Explore on Pennsylvania Day Trips

A museum to explore on day trips in Pennsylvania from the Poconos.

Nestled on the shores of Lake Teedyuskung, Woodloch is the ideal destination to escape the hustle and bustle of life for a little while. With over 30 daily activities, our Poconos resort is home to endless fun. However, there’s even more fun to be had if you leave room to explore the area around our resort. On your next stay, set off on memorable day trips to discover more of our slice of Pennsylvania.

5 Places to Visit in or near the Poconos

Between state parks and nearby towns, there’s no shortage of places to visit when staying at our Poconos family resort. 

  1. It takes roughly 30 minutes to reach Promised Land State Park. This popular attraction is home to miles of hiking trails that take you through forests filled with oak, maple, beech, and hemlock trees. The lake is also known for being a great fishing or kayaking spot.
  2. Located in Lake Ariel, the Lacawac Sanctuary Field Station and Environmental Education Center was founded in 1966. Consisting of 550 acres and several historic buildings, this spot is home to over nine miles of trails that take you through wetlands and woods.
  3. It’s only about a 30-minute drive to reach nearby Honesdale, which is known as the birthplace of the American railroad. Take in views of the town by hiking up Irving Cliff, or go for a ride on The Stourbridge Line. 
  4. Beach Lake is home to fun for the entire family. One of the biggest reasons to visit this town is to spend a day at the Carousel Water Park. Cool off on water slides or bumper boats. There is also a go-kart track, mini-golf course, and more.
  5. The longest drive on this list is the town of Scranton, which takes a little over an hour. However, the drive is worth it once you discover the variety of things to do and see. Visit one of the numerous museums, such as the Everhart Museum or Steamtown National Historic Site.

Make Woodloch Your Preferred Poconos Home Base

Whether setting off on day trips to nearby Pennsylvania spots or never leaving resort grounds, you’ll never have to worry about getting bored when staying at Woodloch. Our Pocono Mountains resort is not only surrounded by endless adventure, but it has everything you could ever want from a home away from home. Between cozy accommodations, delicious dining options, and countless amenities, we have all your needs covered. To learn more about our resort and booking your stay, call 570-685-8000.
