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.
