The Poconos
|
 |
Newark International Airport is about a two-hour drive from The Poconos, and a much bigger airport more likely to have flights from your originating city.
If you have your own small plane or are travelling in one, there are very small regional airports either very close to or right in the Poconos, such as Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport, STroudburg-Pocono Airpark, and Beltzville Airport. The last one is so small and private that you may want to consider the other two, since they at least have runway lights and someone to answer when you radio in to ask permission to land. Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport is on PA Highway 611, only one and a half miles from Mount Pocono. There's a lounge and snack vending machines, and some friendly staff. Available are tie-downs, storage, and fuel. Like all three small airports in the Poconos, there is no air-traffic control here.
Stroudsburg-Pocono Airpark is on US Highway 209, only three miles from East Stroudsburg. Although there are tie-downs and hanger spots, it's mainly used as a waypoint for tourist flights and daytrips.
By Car
The major highways that lead to the Poconos are I-80, which goes right through the center, and I-81, which goes along the western edge. If you're coming from Philadelphia area, take I-95 and get off onto I-476.By Limousine
If you fly in, you can hire one of the several limo services available to transport you to the Poconos. Some of them will also drive you to special occassions or to dinner, whatever you like. Most of the limo companies provide airport shuttle service only, though.By Bus
Buses depart from Philadelphia, New York, and Scranton, and make stops in the Poconos. There's a Greyhound station in Delaware Water Gap. There's Martz Trailways in Marshalls Creek and in Mount Pocono. There's also Shortline Bus in Hawley/Honesdale, serving its passengers a three-hour ride to New York City.Getting Around the Poconos
By Car
Car is the best way to go when travelling in the Poconos. However, drivers must stay alert and always have a map. Signs can sometimes have a bad habit of not appearing when you need them, and getting lost can sometimes be fun on vacation, but always. Also, the roads twist and wind, and are sometimes precariously narrow. And if you come in winter, beware of black ice, which is difficult to see, but slippery because it actually is real ice. Watch out for deer in winter, and any other creatures in other seasons. Speed limits are lower in the Poconos, for all the reasons just mentioned. Remember that you're on vacation when you come to the Poconos, and just sit back and drive with a sane head. Unsafe passing is a major source of pain in this region, so don't pass when you're in a no-passing zone. In short, you are strongly encouraged to heed traffic signs.By Taxi
You could get around via taxi in the Poconos, but you can't hail one from the street. Arm yourself with taxi phone numbers and it helps to bring a cell phone, since you'll need to call ahead if this is how you will get around the Poconos.By Bus
There is Monroe County Transit Authority, which runs less than 30 buses between major areas of the Poconos. They would be Stroudsburg, Mount Pocono, and Brodheadsville.
