State parks in the Poconos (PA DCNR)
- Hickory Run State Park: 15,990 acres in Carbon County, in the western foothills of the Pocono Mountains, with more than 40 miles of trails, three state park natural areas and miles of trout streams.
- Boulder Field: a boulder-strewn area in Hickory Run that is a National Natural Landmark.
- Big Pocono State Park: on the summit and slopes of Camelback Mountain, with views of three states. Its facilities are maintained in cooperation with Camelback Mountain Resort.
Why this matters for renters: the Poconos are a large, spread-out region across several counties, so check how close a rental is to the parks or slopes you plan to visit.
