Things to Do in Lake Wallenpaupack This Winter

If you are looking at Lake Wallenpaupack real estate, you may be wondering what you can do during the winter months. The Pocono Mountains are renowned for summer activities, but they are equally as well known for cold weather fun. Here is just a partial list of the many things you can do whether you are a tourist, part-time, or permanent resident.

Hawley Silk Mill

The Hawley Silk Mill lifestyle center has something for everyone. Whether you are into fitness, shopping, crafts, and, of course, eating, there's an activity or shop for you. Explore the Mill’s boutiques, grab coffee at the Coffee House or get some bread at the Mill Market Bakery. Look for home decorations at Art on the Edge, discover local artists at The Looking Glass Art Gallery or search for an outfit for your little one at Alice & Hamish. If it's a workout you crave, there's the Lakes Region Fitness Center, which runs programs in conjunction with the Silver Birches Resort.

Skiing

The Poconos is known for skiing, including Ski Big Bear, which features 18 trails and 500 feet of tubing chutes. For more rigorous outdoor exercise, the Promised Land State Park is only a half hour’s trip away and offers miles of cross-country skiing and snowshoe trails. At the state park office, there are snowshoes to borrow, although you will have to bring your own skis.

The Winterfest

This three-day event celebrates Winter. It has been around for 20 years and transforms Hawley into a winter wonderland worthy of anything in New England or Canada. The event traditionally features carolers and crafts, amazing food from local eateries, and exciting events, including the Ugly Sweater Christmas Party and the Christmas Campfire. A full list of events is available online. From virtually any Lake Wallenpaupack property for sale, this fun festival will please everyone.

Silver Birches Resort

There are few things more relaxing than enjoying a night at Silver Birches during the winter months. Dine at the on-site restaurant, enjoy the cozy accommodations, or if you are looking for an event destination, explore our holiday party opportunities.

The end of Summer or Fall in the Poconos means the fun is just beginning. Whether you are looking at Lake Wallenpaupack real estate, day-tripping to the area, or staying over, winter provides a wealth of opportunities for fun. Check it out.
