Things to Do During a Poconos Fall Vacation

View of Poconos fall foliage display at Mountain Springs Lake Resort

As the leaves burst into vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold, the Poconos region comes alive with a bounty of seasonal activities and attractions. Immerse yourself in the season's magic at Mountain Springs Lake Resort, a lakefront resort in the Pocono Mountains. Check in to your cozy cabin and step out your front door to access on-site fall fun like pumpkin carving, nature walks, and brisk rows. Then, head into town for even more Poconos fall adventures like leaf peeping, apple picking, wagon rides, corn mazes, and family-friendly festivals. Grab your pumpkin spice lattes, breathe in the crisp autumn air, and prepare for endless fall adventures in the Poconos!

Experience Poconos Leaf-Peeping

The Pocono Mountains offer some of the best leaf peeping in Pennsylvania. Check the Poconos fall foliage report to learn when colors will peak near Mountain Springs Lake Resort this year. Immerse yourself in the fall scenery as you hike, bike, horseback ride, or zipline through the mountains. Or sit back and enjoy fall foliage from a new perspective with a scenic drive or train ride on the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway. Learn more about these activities on our Poconos Fall Foliage blog!

Spend a Day at a Pumpkin Patch or Apple Orchard

Experience a day of classic, family-friendly fun at our local orchards, pumpkin patches, and corn mazes.

  • Just three miles down the road from our resort, Pocono Farm Stand & Nursery offers the perfect place for family-friendly fall fun. Inside, you can pick out fall decor and freshly baked pies while the kids enjoy an inflatable play house outside.

  • Drive to Saylorsburg and explore the 11-acre Mazezilla corn maze together. After navigating the maze, check out the corn pit, jump pad, mountain slides, wagon rides, pumpkin launcher, hay forts, food stands, pumpkin patch, and barnyard animals.
