Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Blue Ridge Estate Winery and Adventure Sports. Dorflinger Glass Museum and Dorflinger Factory Museum will appeal to museum buffs. Change things up with these side-trips from East Stroudsburg: Tobyhanna State Park (in Tobyhanna), Pocono Environmental Education Center (in Dingmans Ferry) and Lacawac Sanctuary (in Lake Ariel). There's much more to do: admire the majestic nature at Big Pocono State Park, admire the sheer force of Bushkill Falls, try your luck at Mount Airy Casino, and see the interesting displays at Zane Grey Museum.

Pocono Mountains Region travel guide
Taking up the better part of northeastern Pennsylvania, the Pocono Mountains Region contains more than 6,200 sq km (2,400 sq mi) of rolling mountains, waterfalls, lakes, forests, and streams. A year-round vacation getaway, the region once attracted mostly honeymooners. Today, the Poconos draw adventure-seekers from around the globe, arriving in throngs to explore one of the southernmost ski areas in the United States. Famous for its pristine nature teeming with native wildlife, the region is a quick car ride from New England or New York. The Pocono Mountains do not encompass any major cities--the wilderness area dotted with small towns and natural attractions makes this one of the least polluted portions of the region.
