Hi Readers,
My wife and I went hiking in Big Pocono State Park this past Sunday. For those of you not familiar with Big Pocono and its history it is better known today as Camelback Mountain but it all started a long time ago as the property of Henry Cattell.
Big Pocono State Park is on land which was owned by Henry Cattell near the turn of the 20th century. Mr Cattell, being very fond of the view from the summit of Camelback Mountain, and knowing that many others shared his love for the area, constructed a stone cabin on the summit in 1908. The Cattell Cabin was left unlocked for many years to be used as a shelter by anyone who wished.
CATTELL CABIN
In 1928, 12 years after Mr Cattell's death, the Pennsylvania Game Commission purchased the area. In 1950, a portion of the state game land on the steep north slope of the mountain was leased to Big Pocono Skiing, Inc., for commercial ski development. Later named Camelback Ski Corporation, the has been developed into a major ski resort.
In 1953, a 1306 - acre portion of the state game lands, including the ski area lease, was aquired by the Pennsylvania Department of Forests and Waters (now the Dept of Conservation and Natural Resources) for the purpose of developing a state park at the mountain' summit.
In 1954, after the construction of restrooms, parking areas, picnic sites, fireplaces and a scenic drive around the summit, the area was opened to the public as Big Pocono State Park.
Thank you to The Department of Conservation & Natural Resources for the content of this BLOG!

Last year it was a major snow storm the week before Halloween. This year, Two Weeks Before Halloween!!Pretty soon we'll be welcoming Old Man Winter on Labor Day Weekend I guess! Once the chill is in the air in the Poconos, the snow is right behind it especially for the stretch of towns along the Route 940 Corridor of The Poconos. This is the notorious Snow Belt Region where you can expect to see snow of some level EVERY day in the winter! The only odd thing about this snow storm is that it took place on the 15th and 16th of October. You know today, the 17th is supposed to be PEEK FOLIAGE in Monroe County for Fall Color??????Only problem is that the color is now WHITE!
If you are a snow lover and want a home right at the slopes then do I have a few links for you to check out! All three of the Major Ski Slopes and the current inventory of homes for sale can be found on the links below!
