Tobyhanna
is a small, unincorporated community located in Monroe County in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. At one time, Tobyhanna was the site of a vibrant ice industry. The ice was cut from the surrounding mountain lakes during the winter and stored in large barn-like structures. During the rest of the year, the ice was added to railroad cars hauling fresh produce and meats to the East Coast cities. Today, due to its' location between New York and Philadelphia, many families have built new homes in the Tobyhanna area and commute to work. The Poconos is well-known for the outdoor activities, such as skiing, hiking, fishing, camping and other sports. The Poconos encompasses the Delaware State Forest, including six designated natural areas. Also in the area are 7 state parks, 17 state game lands and one national park, the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Towards the southern end of the Poconos is the Appalachian Trail, and in autumn the Poconos are known for its brilliant colors. Numerous ski resorts dot the area, campgrounds are plentiful, and the Pocono Raceway is a major auto racetrack, home to two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races. Gaming is also available at two resorts in the Pocono Mountains region near Tobyhanna.
