Monroe County blends mountain scenery with easygoing communities and practical convenience. Historic main streets in Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg anchor daily life, while Mount Pocono and Tannersville offer quick access to shopping, dining, and four-season fun. With I‑80 and Route 33 nearby, commuting to Allentown or Scranton is straightforward, and weekend trips across Northampton County or up to Pike County are an easy drive.
Outdoor lovers gravitate to the river-carved vistas and miles of trails at the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, managed by the National Park Service, where paddling, hiking, and wildlife watching shine throughout the year. On the ridge above Tannersville, Big Pocono State Park crowns Camelback Mountain with sweeping overlooks and picnic spots, while nearby Camelback Resort delivers skiing, mountain coasters, and waterpark thrills. Winter keeps the momentum at Shawnee Mountain Ski Area, a family-friendly favorite with lessons, tubing, and festivals.
Education and services round out the picture. East Stroudsburg University energizes the area with arts, athletics, and continuing education opportunities. Strong public school options—Stroudsburg, East Stroudsburg, and Pocono Mountain—serve diverse neighborhoods, and Lehigh Valley Hospital–Pocono provides comprehensive care close to home. County services, parks, and events are coordinated through the Monroe County government, making it easy to plug into community life.
