Winter Wonderland

Until last week, it seemed as if winter had forgotten all about us. But the snow finally fell and it became a winter wonderland here in Hawley. We finally had a chance to get out and play in the snow! A full day of cross-country skiing up here in the Pocono Lakes Region can’t be beat!

Getting out into nature during these cold months is a favorite pastime of ours.  Nearby Dorflinger Wildlife Sanctuary offers some really beautiful winter walks. Strolling through the Sanctuary, you can hear the calls of all the birds who brave the cold, while hearing the crunch of snow underfoot. Promised Land State Park also offers some really beautiful winter scenes to explore by foot, snowshoe, or even cross-country ski! There is so much to see and explore during the winter months, it’s hard to imagine spending the winter days inside!

What are some your favorite winter activities?
