Pocono

Pennsylvania resort range

Pocono refers to a mountainous region in northeastern Pennsylvania, part of the Appalachian range.

The Poconos are a popular resort destination known for honeymoon retreats, ski slopes, and weekend getaways from New York and Philadelphia: We're renting a cabin in the Poconos this winter.

The name comes from a Lenape word meaning "creek between two hills."
