4 of the Best Activities for Your Poconos Family Vacation

A great vacation is defined by where you go and what you do, and if you’re planning on taking the family to the Poconos, all your bases are covered. Stunning scenery and plenty of exciting activities make a Poconos family vacation hard to beat. Silver Birches Resort, located in Hawley, PA on the shores of Lake Wallenpaupack, offers an unforgettable Poconos family vacation experience.

4 of the Best Activities for Your Poconos Family Vacation

1. Kayak and SUP 

A Poconos family vacation without at Silver Birches offers plenty of fun. Take out a kayak or standup paddleboard (SUP). Imagine paddling your way across Lake Wallenpaupack, surrounded by Poconos beauty, or casting your line out and reeling in smallmouth bass and walleye. We offer standard, tandem, fishing and children’s kayaks, as well as a variety of paddle boards. If that’s not enough power for you, then you’ll love our boat rentals. Thanks to the Freedom Boat Club, you can take your pick of a pontoon, fishing, or ski boat rental! 

2. Stunning Sunsets

It’s hard to find a bad place to catch a Poconos sunset on Lake Wallenpaupack (in fact, we think it’s impossible). Relax at The Dock on Wallenpaupack restaurant, where you can celebrate the end of the day with a Sunset toast. Or, jump in the car and take the kids to the Palmyra Township Public Beach! Cookout, play volleyball or take a dip in the lake – just make sure you stick around for the views in the evening. Another great place to catch sunset views is from the Lake Wallenpaupack Observation Dike. Of course, then there’s nothing wrong with simply sitting on our front porch and enjoying the evening.

3. Fishing on Lake Wallenpaupack

Fishing and relaxation go hand in hand, and Lake Wallenpaupack will keep any angler happy. You and your family will love fishing here! The lake is known for its population of smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, walleye, bluegill and more. Check out this blog on Lake Wallenpaupack fishing for more information!

4. Wally Lake Fest

This annual festival is the most exciting event to come to Lake Wallenpaupack! From August 26-28, the lake comes to life, and anywhere you go, you’ll find fun. Events and attractions include Blues, Brews & BBQ, Wallypalooza, artisans fair, food, and much, much more! Plan your Poconos family vacation around Wally Lake Fest, and you won’t be disappointed.
