Spring 2026 in Pocono Pines: Events, Activities & Local Favorites

← All Posts

Spring has arrived in the Pocono Mountains, and there's never been a better time to plan a getaway to Pocono Pines. As the snow melts and the forest comes alive, the region transforms into a paradise for hikers, foodies, and families alike.

What's Happening This Spring

Kalahari Resorts — Spring Break Specials

Just 14 minutes from Slanted Stone Chalet, Kalahari Indoor Waterpark is running spring break specials through mid-April. With over 200,000 square feet of water slides, wave pools, and lazy rivers, it's the perfect rainy-day activity for families.

Tobyhanna State Park — Trails Are Open

After a long winter, the trails at Tobyhanna State Park are back in action. The 5,440-acre park is just 15 minutes away and offers hiking, fishing, and kayaking on Tobyhanna Lake. The Lakeside Trail is a favorite for families — a flat, easy 3-mile loop with stunning lake views.

Camelback Mountain — Mountain Coaster & Zip Lines

While ski season wraps up, Camelback's adventure park kicks into gear. The mountain coaster, zip lines, and treetop obstacle courses open for the season in mid-April. It's a 20-minute drive and an adrenaline rush for all ages.

Local Dining Worth the Drive

The Poconos food scene has been growing, and spring brings outdoor dining back to the area. A few spots worth checking out:

• Barley Creek Brewing Company in Tannersville — great craft beer and pub food with a patio
• Homestead General in Blakeslee — a cozy spot with farm-to-table breakfast and lunch
• Pocono Brewing Company — local brews with mountain views

Farmers Markets Return

The Pocono Community Farmers Market reopens in May, featuring local produce, baked goods, honey, and handmade crafts. It's a Saturday morning tradition and a great way to stock up on provisions for your chalet stay.

Spring at the Chalet

There's something special about spring at Slanted Stone Chalet. The barrel sauna feels even better with cool spring air outside, the firepit is perfect for chilly evenings, and the forest surrounding the property comes alive with birdsong and wildflowers.

Whether you're here for adventure or simply need a reset, Pocono Pines in spring delivers on both.
