If you enjoy fishing, you'll love the Pocono Mountains. Click here for a current Fishing and Boating Report. An angler can visit the Poconos area for an entire month and never fish the same water or fish for the same species twice. And the odds of an impressive catch are greatly helped by the heavy stocking of the waters of the Pocono lakes, done annually. Some of the types of fish stocked include walleye, panfish, pickerel, largemouth bass, muskellunge, kokanee salmon, brown trout, and rainbow trout.

When spring comes, the melting snow and spring rains cause white water to rush down from the top of the mountains. This creates excellent whitewater rafting conditions in the Pocono Mountains, especially on the winding Delaware and Lehigh Rivers. Beautiful rock formations, spectacular waterfalls, spring water pools, bank side wildlife, and jumping fish can all be seen during a whitewater rafting adventure in the Pocono Mountains.

River outfitters in the Pocono Mountains offer whitewater rafting equipment, lessons, guides and special discounts throughout the spring and summer seasons. Guided canoe trips and inner tube rentals are available too.
