When you ask someone about the Poconos, most people think of the heart-shaped tubs and honeymoon resorts.
And, yes indeed, that's part of the story - but by no means a complete picture.
A new conception of the Poconos is emerging: one of family fun, outdoor sports and a nearby retreat to take in nature.
This is now making the Poconos the new urban escape destination for New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania metro dwellers - see the special Spring Getaway Packages now being offered.
The Poconos is just the place to enjoy and discover the outdoors: find solace and natural beauty and partake in numerous activities like whitewater rafting, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, zip lines, horseback riding and all-around rest and relaxation sprinkled with adventure and outdoor thrills.
