Living in the Poconos gives us a lot of opportunities for fun family activities, it is one of the reasons I enjoy living here. The fall months in the Poconos are beautiful and one of our favorite times of the year. The weather is nice, you are comfy in jeans and a hoodie and it is so beautiful to look around you. We always have a ton of fun during the fall months in the Poconos! If you are visiting then you are going to want to add these 5 Fun Fall Activities to do In the Poconos to your to do list!
I grew up here in the Poconos and then as a family Tom, myself and the kids lived in New Jersey for a few years and then we moved back. Part of our reason for moving back to the area was because it is a rural area, with so many things to do and there is less hustle and bustle compared to other places. I wanted my kids to be able to experience the many things that are awesome about the Poconos while they were growing up. There is something quite relaxing at times about having no street lights blaring in your window at night and the calm atmosphere that tends to be all around the Poconos.
5 Fun Fall Activities to do In the Poconos
- Go for a Nature walk. There are so many beautiful places and things to see locally. You can drive to somewhere or even just do like we do and walk in the woods in our backyard. The leaves start changing and the bright red and yellow laves are beautiful!
- Visit a park. There are so many different parks in the Poconos. You can find community parks, or school parks to take the kids to. They are budget friendly and lots of fun!
3.Visit a Farm. There are some really awesome farms in the local area. They are always a place that the kids love and we always have an awesome time. Plus they are also very educational too, because the kids can learn about the animals.
4. Visit a Pumpkin Patches. Here in the Poconos we don’t have to go to a stand or the grocery store to get our Halloween pumpkins! We can take a visit to a local pumpkin patch and pick our own! Most of them also have hayrides, which are always a TON of fun!
5. Go Apple Picking. This is so much fun to do with the kids. Plus when you get home you can make all sorts of tasty treats like my favorite, Apple pie!

I don’t live in a small town. I live on the outskirts of Atlanta, but living in the south, I know all about the importance of farmers and what they do.

A simple life like that is so attractive to me. It looks like you could create some amazing family memories in a place like that.

We do these same things here in the Midwest. I just love being outside in the Fall, and it is so wonderful to get everyone to unplug and appreciate the beauty of nature.

There’s nothing quite like visiting a farm or apple orchard on beautiful fall day! It’s a great way to make memories, too! I have got to get to the poconos one of these days. It’s not too far of a drive – maybe 4 hours or so. 🙂

Walks in the woods during the fall are so surreal. Hearing the animals crunch around is my favorite part.

How fun! We went to the Poconos a few months ago and had a lot of fun. These are great family activities to do in the fall anywhere in fact.

These are things we like to do in the fall in Florida…Well not the apple picking. We don’t have any apple orchards around here.
Nichole Arnold says
It is certainly on my bucket list to visit the Poconos one day! I would love to do some of these activities as I’m sure my son would love them.
Lynndee says
We live in a small city here in NC, but we also get to enjoy those things because we are surrounded by mountains and farms. I hope I get to visit the Poconos someday. Sounds like a great place to explore.
Mimi Green says
These are all great activities to do. I don’t live near the Poconos but we love to do some of the same things in our area.

It makes me sad that we don’t have any of these places close by. Hiking would be a fun way to spend on a fall afternoon. I have not been hiking since I vacationed in Colorado as a child.
Marielle Altenor says
I’m so sad that we didn’t get to go apple picking this year! My daughter would have loved it! Hopefully next year we can go.

My husband attended a conference there in Poconos and he said it is a beautiful place. He wants to bring us there for a getaway sometimes.
