Poconos Activities Near Camelback Mountain

The Poconos Are One Big Amusement Park

Activities are scattered throughout the 2400 square miles of the region of Northeastern Pennsylvania with Camelback Mountain the central focus. Camelback Mountain is centered in the Poconos and is in the more southern tier. We call this the “Ski region.” All of the major ski resorts are here. There is a northern tier we call the “lake region” along Rt I-84. There are no major ski areas, but more and larger lakes.
