Philadelphia or Connecticut brings you to our beautiful mountains with
breathtaking views, the spectacular Delaware River, and relaxed
country living. The region has long been known as a four season
vacation and recreation area and today is renowned for its luxurious
resorts, beautiful home communities, family oriented attractions,
great schools, low taxes, low crime, sparkling lakes and streams
surrounded by gentle mountains of incomparable natural beauty. The
Pocono Mountains is growing by leaps and bounds annually. Despite this
great expansion the region continues to maintain a real sense of
identity, community and purpose.
