🥾 3 Places to Hike in the Poconos Before It Gets Too Cold

Before the snow settles in for the season, there’s still time to take in the crisp air and golden colors of the Pocono Mountains on foot. Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, mountain views, or peaceful forest trails, the region is full of unforgettable hikes — all within a short drive of home.

🌲 1. Hickory Run State Park – Shades of Death Trail

Don’t let the name fool you — this is one of the most scenic trails in the Poconos. The path winds past mossy boulders, small cascades, and peaceful creeks, especially beautiful when the last of the fall leaves cling to the trees. Make time for a stop at Hawk Falls nearby for a perfect photo spot.

💧 2. Promised Land State Park – Little Falls Trail

Tucked in the northern reaches of Pike County, this easy loop offers stunning views of waterfalls and dense evergreens that look picture-perfect as the temperatures dip. Bundle up and enjoy the quiet — this trail feels miles away from everything.

🌄 3. Glen Onoko Falls Trail – Jim Thorpe Area

For the more adventurous, this legendary trail near Jim Thorpe offers a challenge and a payoff: towering waterfalls and incredible views of the Lehigh Gorge. The terrain can be rugged, so wear good boots and tread carefully — but the reward is one of the best sights in the region.
