Big Pocono State Park
A state park on the summit of Camelback Mountain. You can drive to the top, and the ring trail offers views across mountains in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.
Big Pocono State Park covers the summit of Camelback Mountain, at about 640 meters, one of the highest points on the Pocono Plateau. The Rim Trail encircles the mountain for about 2.5 km. On clear days, the lookouts reveal distant mountains toward New Jersey and New York. Autumn foliage blankets the hills in spectacular color, and the summit is also a good spot for watching sunsets. Admission is free. The steep, narrow access road is usually closed from about November to April. It can be paired with a ski resort at the foot of the mountain on the same day.
