The Ultimate Guide to Romantic Getaways in PA
Have an Outdoors Adventure
Enjoy a Picnic Lunch and a Day of Hiking
The Pocono Mountains region is known for its gorgeous landscape. From the flowers in the spring and summer to changing leaves in the fall and the snow-covered ground in the winter, there’s no wrong time to visit. During your getaway, consider packing a picnic lunch and exploring one of the nearby hiking trails. Bushkill Falls is an excellent choice for a waterfall hike. What’s more romantic than that? Promised Land State Park is especially gorgeous in the springtime when blooming buds border the hiking trails.
If you’re interested in seeing more waterfalls, consider taking The Settlers Inn’s waterfall hike! Our sister property has created a self-guided tour that lets you see plenty of these gorgeous natural features during your day out.
Visit Lake Wallenpaupack
Take a trip to Lake Wallenpaupack to spend a day on the water! Our sister property, Silver Birches, offers paddleboard, kayak, and canoe rentals. For a little more speed, you can rent one of their power boats. Between the many rentals available at the Recreation Center (which carries a selection of provisions and lake necessities), you’ll find everything you need for a fun time.
If you’d prefer to sit back and relax, consider taking a Lake Wallenpaupack boat tour! Wallenpaupack Boat Tours and Rentals offers a 50-minute boat ride, which covers about one-third of the lake. You’ll get a first-class experience, from the gorgeous views to the friendly and knowledgeable guide describing the history of the lake. The boat departs every hour, on the hour.
