Fall Foliage in the Poconos ~ A Leaf Peepers Paradise!

Pocono Mountain Lakes Realty — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 11:30:11 -0400

Week of Thursday, September 8, 2011 - Wednesday, September 14, 2011:

Northern: (Northern Pike and Wayne Counties) In this location, there is some change in color, and leaves are beginning to fall. White ash trees, which are expected to change their color fairly early in the season, have started to lose their leaves. The projected date for peak color is October 8.

Central: (Southern Wayne and Pike and Northern Monroe Counties) This region is only showing minor color change but expect the red maple trees, in wet areas, to be the first to change. Full color is at 1%. The projected date for peak color is October 17.

Southern: (Southern Monroe and Carbon Counties) Although fall has only just begun, we are already seeing fall coloration in this area. Across the landscape, the forest is turning a range of green shades from species of oak trees, as well as a yellow from the leaves of the ash, aspen and birch trees. Look for the red maples changing to a brilliant red, as tulip trees will display warm yellows. Full color is currently less than 10%. October 12 is the projected date for peak color.

Hiking Bradys Lake Anyone? A Simple and Colorful Trail for the Beginner This Fall!

Pocono Mountain Lakes Realty — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 07:11:35 -0400

Brady’s Lake was built for the ice industry in the early 1890s. Ice harvesting continued and was profitable into the 1930s, until the use of electricity and refrigeration became widespread. The area was later acquired by the federal government and became part of the Tobyhanna Military Reservation. The Fish and Game Commission acquired Brady’s Lake in 1949; the lake is located within State Game Lands 127. Interesting features: Quiet, peaceful lake (electric motors only); old railroad grade. Surface: Rocky woods road, railroad grade.

There are several homes for sale in Pocono Lake that border this gorgeous tract of PA Gamelands. These and other specialty homes can be found exclusively at Ricks Mountain Homes dot com!
