Snow tubing in Pennsylvania

Snow tubing is a simple and slightly silly way to get down a mountain. It’s also lots of fun. You sit in a tube and let gravity propel you down the mountain. You can find this family-friendly experience throughout the U.S.
The heart of the Pocono Mountains in eastern Pennsylvania is home to Camelback Mountain Resort, which claims to be the largest snow tubing park in the United States. The resort has 42 tubing lanes and two “magic carpet” conveyors to carry you and your tube back up the peak.

Single and double tubes are available for rent, so parents and children can ride together if they’d like. Weekend and holiday snow tubing is limited to three-hour sessions to help control crowds. Midweek and nonholiday snow tubing is unlimited. If you would rather ride a tube down a waterslide, Camelback offers that, too, at its indoor waterpark.
The waterpark is part of the Camelback Lodge, a new property at the base of Camelback Mountain. Opened in the spring of 2015, the lodge has 453 rooms, three restaurants and several snack bars.

The resort is about 150 kilometers from New York City, and Philadelphia is about 160 kilometers away.
