Northeastern Pennsylvania experiences all four seasons, and each one offers the chance to have fun and enjoy nature. In the summer, the lakes are the destination for boating and swimming, while fall is the prime time to admire the foliage. Winter marks the start of ski season, which gives way to spring and the return of fishing and golf. And no matter what time of year, the trails and parks offer some of the most incredible views.
