Lake Resorts in PA – Top 5 Summer Beach Activities at Lake Teedyuskung

Woodloch’s Blog

Keep up-to-date with all things Woodloch on our blog featuring exclusive recipes, heartwarming stories, lifestyle content, contests and more.

Top 5 Summer Beach Activities at Lake Teedyuskung

The unofficial start of summer is rapidly approaching with Memorial Day weekend just around the corner. Every summer, families from across the East Coast flock to Woodloch Resort to spend several days swimming, splashing, and paddling in the sapphire blue water of Lake Teedyuskung. While your family will have the rare opportunity to participate in dozens of exciting homegrown activities here at one of the top-rated lake resorts in PA, you’ll likely want to spend as much time as possible in the soothing water of a private lake. And don’t forget to take a short break from Lake Teedyuskung to try out any or all of these five beach activities!

5 Summer Beach Activities at Woodloch Resort

If you take a glance at our daily activity sheet, you’ll quickly notice that you and your family can participate in a vast array of activities ranging from bumper boats to archery. But there’s nothing quite like water skiing, swimming, and sunbathing under the warm summer sun, which is why we compiled five free and easy beach activities to try this summer here at Woodloch, one of the best lake resorts in PA.

  • Sand volleyball – Challenge another family or let the kids make new friends with a rousing match of sand volleyball along the edge of our private Lake Teedyuskung beach. Perhaps you have the next Kerri Walsh or Misty May in the family!
  • Built a sandcastle – Build a sandcastle with the entire family, and let everyone’s imagination run wild! If you’re planning on creating something special, remember to bring along a starter sand-sculpting kit. Use moist sand found below the tide line, add water periodically, and start at the bottom to ensure that your castle doesn’t fall.
  • Read a book – While the kids build a sandcastle, fly kites, and splash in the lake, dust off that summer beach read you’ve been dying to finish. For a list of the hottest beach reads, visit The Oprah Magazine’s website.
  • Sunbathing – Woodloch Resort wouldn’t be one of premier lake resorts in PA if we didn’t provide parents with a fleet of ultra-comfortable chaise lounges along the edge of our exclusive beach. Whether you’re hoping to work on your tan or just aching to soak up the summer sun, there’s no better place than our kid-friendly, lakefront beach area.
  • Fly a kite – The art of kite-flying is somewhat of a science as you’ll need ideal wind conditions to successfully fly a colorful kite. Most kites fly in light-to-medium winds, ranging from six to 15 miles per hour. The beach’s location along the northeast edge of Lake Teedyuskung is a quality spot for an afternoon of kite-flying!

Family-Friendly Lake Resorts in PA

Treat the whole family to the extended weekend getaway that they deserve this summer right here at Woodloch Resort. We’re not only one of the top-rated Pocono Mountains resorts, but our award-winning, family-friendly destination is within two hours of lively New York City! Your family can bond through a wide variety of homegrown activities, such as summer Olympics, Bakery Wars, and the Amazing Race. To learn more about a potential mid-summer Poconos getaway, please visit us online at Woodloch.com, or give us a call today at 1-800-966-3562.

Top-Rated Poconos Getaway: The Best Times to Visit Woodloch

There’s never an offseason for good, old-fashioned family fun in the Pocono Mountains, especially here at Woodloch Resort, which is conveniently located only two hours from Manhattan. Regardless of the season, Woodloch provides every family with a one-of-a-kind Poconos getaway. Splash in Lake Teedyuskung under the warm Pennsylvania sunshine, hike through our pristine wilderness during autumn’s peak, and ski down the slopes at Masthope Mountain – the choice is yours! While it was challenging to choose just four of our favorite times to visit Woodloch, these specific occasions certainly stood out.

Autumn Midweeks

A Poconos getaway during autumn’s peak should be on everyone’s bucket list, which is why we urge families to avoid weekends during the leaf-peeping season’s pinnacle. Not only will you get to enjoy some of the most colorful foliage on the planet, but the roads will be practically empty. Autumn Midweeks are also one of the best deals on the East Coast as we offer outrageous savings for children six and under as well as teenagers. You’ll be able to combine fun Halloween-themed games and seemingly endless homegrown activities while appreciating the glorious combination of tiger orange, marigold, Tuscan yellow, and emerald in our lush forestry.

July & August

There’s no secret that July & August are the most popular months here at Woodloch Resort, as thousands of families from New York City flock to Hawley, PA, for a well-deserved, summertime, Poconos getaway. Many of our homegrown activities are centered around water during the summer months. Splash in one of our pristine pools, explore Lake Teedyuskung in a family-sized rowboat, and enroll in the Summer Olympics. One of the biggest perks of a midsummer Poconos getaway is that you can do just about anything!

Spooktacular Weekends

During select weekends in October, we transform our family resort into a Halloween-themed wonderland – we call them Spooktacular Weekends! Not only is the surrounding wilderness a colorful natural painting, but your family can hop aboard the world-famous Haunted Hayride, show off their costumes in the Halloween Parade, and even go trick or treating. Autumn is especially fantastic because you can still partake in home-grown outdoor activities but also enjoy the splendors of fall: leaf-peeping, s’mores, pumpkin-spiced lattes, and cozy sweater weather!

Ski & Stay

Earlier this winter, we detailed the incredible savings and value that comes with the Ski & Stay packages here at Woodloch Resort. There isn’t a better mid-week, wintertime, Poconos getaway available. With the Ski & Stay package, families can enjoy unlimited skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing at Ski Big Bear as well as two meals daily, countless on-site activities, and nightly live entertainment. Take a break from the slopes with ice skating, and the Winter Olympics. Woodloch is one of the best family resorts in North America because our team is dedicated to creating a warm, friendly, and exciting atmosphere which pairs perfectly with the Pocono Mountains’ beauty.

To plan a well-deserved Poconos getaway to Woodloch Resort, please give us a call today at 1-800-966-3562, or browse through our packages online. We cannot wait to see all of your smiling faces this year here at Woodloch!

A Memorial Day Holiday Weekend Getaway to the Pocono Mountains

Even though we’re in the heart of winter, there’s no denying that Woodloch Resort’s four-day Memorial Day Weekend extravaganza is just around the corner. The time to book your Memorial Day getaway is right now because families are already reserving rooms here in the beautiful Pocono Mountains. 

Memorial Day is an annual remembrance of the lives lost in the United States Armed Forces, and this holiday weekend serves as a much-needed reminder to hold your families tight and enjoy every minute together. The last Monday in May is always one of the most popular weekend getaways in PA. Keep reading to learn more about our many holiday weekend offerings.

The First Cookout of the Season

First and foremost, Memorial Day is the perfect excuse to get outside and grill burgers, hot dogs, barbecue chicken, and corn on the cob. Our first cookout of the season always lands on this popular holiday weekend, much to the excitement of our guests. The smell of the grills blankets our property, alluring hundreds of kids and adults. Typical grill fare is paired with fresh watermelon, baked beans, potato chips, corn on the cob, and dessert.

Lake Teedyuskung Excitement

holiday weekend

For many, the arrival of Memorial Day signifies the start of summer (even if it officially doesn’t begin until late June). The temperature typically sits in the ideal low-70s, while the sun is almost always shining here in Hawley, PA. Late May ushers hundreds of children and adults alike into Lake Teedyuskung. Woodloch is one of the only Pocono Mountains resorts to have exclusive access to a large secluded lake. Guests are free to use our complimentary rowboats, kayaks, SUPs, and sailboats all weekend long. The calming, deep blue water is home to a thriving turtle population; many guests also spot bald eagles, blue herons, and Canadian geese. The surrounding forest is home to beautiful white-tailed deer, cute porcupines, shy black bears, and adorable foxes. If you’re interested in water-skiing or a scenic boat tour, meet at the Teahouse Dock in the early afternoon.

Holiday Weekend Getaways in PA

Over Memorial Day Weekend, we will also be premiering the Summer Olympics, which is one of our most popular activities here at Woodloch, one of the best family resorts in North America. The Memorial Day Carnival will be up-and-running all weekend long as well. Each year’s festival is different, but you can expect carnival-style games, face painting, and countless chances to win prizes. Your family has the opportunity to partake in dozens of homegrown games and activities, such as archery tag, the Shooting Barn, and Cake Wars. To learn more about our deluxe, family-friendly, Poconos resorts and holiday weekend packages, please visit Woodloch.com, or give us a call at 1-800-966-3562.

Haunted Hayrides

Much like all of our homegrown activities, the Woodloch Haunted Hayride rises to new heights every October. Every fall, we have scarier monsters, intensified pyrotechnics, and top-of-the-line props. Here’s your friendly reminder: the Haunted Hayride is not for the faint of heart! We produce dozens of terrifying nightmares based on popular horror films, television series, and our wild imaginations. We take Halloween very seriously – it takes weeks to transform our tranquil trail into a haunted forest thrill ride. Do you have the courage to hop aboard our homegrown Haunted Hayride?

Spooktacular Midweeks and Halloween Weekends

Woodloch Resort‘s Halloween celebration began as a two-day event and has quickly blossomed into a 21-day extravaganza. Choose between a three or four-day Spooktacular Midweek stay or a Friday and Saturday Halloween Weekend. Each day is jam-packed with costume parties, pumpkin painting, scarecrow building, parades, scavenger hunts, crafts, and, of course, trick or treating. Every event will be SCARY fun and appropriate for all ages. Don’t miss out on our “Halloween Wars” baking contest and the annual “Boo-Lympics.” No other family resorts in PA offer these crowd-pleasing activities and events.

Terrifyingly Fun Autumn Activities

When your children aren’t baking a ghoulish cupcake, painting Jack Skellington’s face on a ripe pumpkin, or collecting yummy bite-size candy, they will surely enjoy one of our many homegrown fall activities. Guests of all ages love animal; that’s why we have a petting zoo with adorable baby cows, rabbits, lambs, and sheep. Your little princess also deserves a pony ride!

Pocono Mountains Resorts | A Stunning Autumn Adventure to the Poconos

Woodloch’s Blog

Keep up-to-date with all things Woodloch on our blog featuring exclusive recipes, heartwarming stories, lifestyle content, contests and more.

A Stunning Autumn Adventure to the Poconos

Summer break is nearly in the rearview mirror as classes begin in a handful of weeks (groan!). Luckily you can give the kids something to look forward to this autumn by planning a family adventure to Woodloch Resort. Our all-inclusive Pocono Mountains resorts bring families together with endless activities, breathtaking scenery, and world-class amenities thanks to our dedicated staff. 

Witness a stunning mixture of kelly green, amber orange, straw yellow, and brick red by exploring our 1,000-plus acres of Pennsylvania wilderness or by embarking on a scenic drive through the glorious Pocono countryside. Take a breather from your hectic city life and give the kids a short break from their schoolwork with an autumn escape to Woodloch’s premier Pocono Mountains resorts.

Best Scenic Drives in the Poconos

It’s rather easy to find a beautiful autumn road because the entire Pocono region offers stunning drives through mountains and valleys. Journey through the Pennsylvania mountain wilderness with a trip on these three nearby routes, all of which are minutes from our family-friendly Pocono Mountains resorts. Grab a delicious, freshly roasted coffee and a fresh homemade muffin from Gigi’s Coffee House then pack the kids in the car for an unforgettably colorful trip.

Route 507

Pick up Route 507 in Wilsonville, two miles south of Hawley. Route 507 twists and turns on the southern side of beautiful Lake Wallenpaupack, the third largest lake in Pennsylvania. This route is a tranquil lake drive with stunning vistas of the sapphire blue lake and the colorful hillside.

Route 402

If you’re planning on visiting the Delaware Water Gap, home to one of the best autumn overlooks on the East Coast, head south on Route 402. This sequestered route cuts through the Poconos countryside with only two towns on a 40-mile stretch of mountain road. Route 402 also runs through the heart of the Delaware State Forest, a lush wooded wonderland. Bushkill Falls, one of the most beautiful chains of waterfalls in the country, is a short detour from the Delaware Water Gap.

U.S. Route 6

If you’re visiting Woodloch Resort from the New York City area, we recommend embarking on a small detour by picking up U.S. Route 6 in Milford. Take U.S. 6 all the way to White Mills before backtracking to our Lake Teedyuskung haven. This highway, which stretches all the way to California, is considered one of the Top Scenic Routes in America. The town of Milford is a scenic hill city with engrossing history, eclectic shopping, and beautiful Poconos vistas.

Pocono Mountains Resorts

There’s never a dull moment at Woodloch Resort thanks to the staff’s tireless efforts and our jam-packed daily itineraries. The whole family will love the onsite hayrides pulled by two of our beautiful, white horses. Stroll down our mile-long paved nature trail or play a round of golf in the breathtaking Poconos countryside at Woodloch Springs. Woodloch’s Pocono Mountains resorts are conveniently located within driving distance of New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Boston. Book an unforgettable autumn adventure that the whole family can appreciate in the scenic Pocono Mountains!
