The Poconos are in northeastern Pennsylvania in the United States. They form a highland and mountain resort region rather than a single peak.
Regional location
The Pocono Mountains stretch across Wayne, Pike, Monroe, and eastern Carbon counties in northeastern Pennsylvania. The region is bordered roughly by the Lehigh River to the west and the Delaware River and Delaware Water Gap to the east.
Nearby cities and access
The Poconos lie northwest of New York City and are within about a two-hour drive of major metropolitan areas such as New York and Philadelphia. They overlook areas such as the Delaware Water Gap, Lake Wallenpaupack to the north, and the Lehigh Valley to the south.
