About Big Pocono

Perched atop 2,133-foot Camelback Mountain, this 1,306-acre park offers panoramic views of three states from its summit drive and overlooks. The park features 8.5 miles of hiking trails ranging from moderate to challenging, historic CCC-era structures, and the adjacent Camelback Mountain Resort for skiing and snowboarding. A former fire tower dating from 1921 stands as a historic landmark.
