Season 5, Episode 16 - We are on the homestretch of our series Exploring State Parks in the Poconos (https://www.poconomountains.com/plan-your-vacation/pocono-television-network/segments/#parks ) . Recently, we explored Promised Land State Park (https://www.poconomountains.com/listing/promised-land-state-park/1150/ ) which is in Pike County - not far from Interstate 84.
We learned some great insights from Park Manager Sara Jade Woodsmith about the park's beach, campgrounds, history and more. We also paddled for a bit around the lake with Kara Derry, who's helped lead the new group Friends of Promised Land (https://www.facebook.com/friendsofpromisedland ) . And we learned a lot about the history of the park, one of the oldest in the state and with ties to the New Deal programs.
The Poconos is a year-round destination for millions and with 24-hundred square miles of mountains, forests, lakes and rivers with historic downtowns and iconic family resorts, it's the perfect getaway for a weekend or an entire week.
