Ways to Unleash the Wild-Side in the Poconos

As much as Poconos can be the perfect romantic getaway, it can be an adrenaline junkie’s paradise as well! Although the Pocono Mountain region has many backroad picturesque drives, if you truly want to get off the beaten path and get some mud on the tires (and possibly on you, too! ), an ATV and off-roading excursion is the way to go. Here are our ways to unleash the wild side in Poconos.

ATV and UTV rentals are available in the Poconos year-round, whether you want to race through the snow or splash through the streams. All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility-terrain vehicles (UTVs) are made to be driven over challenging terrains, such as rocky paths and dirt roads. It’s a fun way to spice up a day spent outside. 

NOTE: there are certain things that you will need to keep in mind before you use the ATVs. Drivers need to have a current driver’s license in order to rent either type of off-road vehicle. Check the minimum age and height criteria for your tour to see if younger visitors can participate as riders. It’s advised to make reservations! Remember that you might need to show up 30 minutes before the start of your trip, and many tour operators have a 48-hour cancellation policy. Before the tour, all local tour guides give an introductory briefing to go over vehicle operating and safety procedures.

Outdoor adventure tours in Pocono

Right close to Pocono Raceway, a family-run business called Pocono Outdoor Adventure Tours offers UTV excursions. See how you do on the challenge course, travel through the forested paths, and catch a view of “The Tricky Triangle” grandstands. These UTVs offer a fun and safe experience because they are outfitted with roll cages, seat belts, and side restraints.

Switchback UTV tour

One of the many thrilling outdoor activities available at Camelback Mountain Adventures is the Switchback UTV Tour. This two-hour adventure includes 30-minute instruction and is ideal for parties of four to six people. Participants must be at least 62″ tall, and drivers must be at least 18 years old with a current U.S. driver’s license in order to participate. Helmets must be worn and will be provided.

POCONO ATV RENTALS

What distinguishes ATVs from UTVs? ATVs often have seating that is similar to that of a motorbike and can fit one driver and one rider behind, making them more versatile.

Alvins Offroad Playground

The 70 acres of tracks at Alvins Offroad Playground are large. Each trip is unique and tailored to the participant’s degree of expertise, with the property’s design favoring visitors in the novice to intermediate range.
