Big Pocono State Park Fall Foliage
Big Pocono State Park on Camelback Mountain sprawls across 1,306 acres of varied terrain. You’ll find a multitude of ways to enjoy the beautiful colors of fall at Big Pocono State Park. Here are a few of them!
1. Drive to the Summit
The paved road to the summit of Camelback Mountain provides incredible autumn views of Pennsylvania, and — on good weather days — New Jersey and New York as well! It’s one of the most amazing Poconos fall foliage scenic drives! So even if you aren’t up to hiking, you can still soak in the stunning surroundings.
2. Take a Hike
The 8.5 miles of hiking trails at Big Pocono State Park let you be up-close-and-personal with the falling leaves, as well as getting a bird’s eye view from many of the stunning overlooks. You can even hike to the top of Camelback Mountain. Be aware that some of these trails are quite steep and are not for a beginner hiker or a leisurely stroll!
3. Enjoy a Picnic Lunch
Picnic tables at Big Pocono State Park boast of a “picnic with a view” with an elevation well above sea level at 2100 feet. If anything could improve on the natural beauty of the Poconos in the fall, it would be a bottle of wine and a well-packed lunch of local offerings.
4. Dine at Cameltop Mountain Lodge
If you’re looking for excellent views without having to pack a lunch, consider dining at the Cameltop Mountain Lodge near the summit of Camelback Mountain. This excellent local restaurant provides a feast for your eyes and your body!
Fall into Comfort at The French Manor Inn & Spa
A trip to witness the Big Pocono State Park fall foliage is a stunning way to enjoy the season. However, it’s only the beginning of what you can experience when you visit The French Manor Inn & Spa. Take in the autumn views from our private balconies. Sleep in extreme comfort in our luxurious suites, perhaps enjoying the comfort of a crackling fire. A gourmet breakfast in the morning will refresh you for the day ahead. We also offer other excellent on-site dining options, as well as many amenities you can’t get at the average B&B. Also, our excellent spa services elevate any stay, no matter the season!
