Enjoy the Pocono Mountains Fall weather and foliage with two outings hosted by the Pocono Heritage Land Trust in Monroe County--

-- October 14: Autumn Leave Peeping On Long Pond - Guided Kayak/Canoe Paddle on Tunkhannock Creek and after paddle picnic. Long Pond wetlands is one of those magic places that keeps paddlers coming back time after time and is especially alive as the sights and sounds of autumn begin to transition in the Pocono landscape from the greens of summer through the fires of autumn to the whites of winter. (BYO kayak/canoe and lifejacket)
