Poconos and Endless Mountains travel safety advice
If you choose to go hunting always wear a bright color to stand out from the surroundings as hunting accidents can occur. Pennsylvania State law mandates at least a total of 250 square inches of fluorescent orange on the front and back of the body, or alternatively a hat that is completely fluorescent orange when hunting deer or bear. Always remember to use common sense when hunting!
Many attractions that draw people to the Pocono region can be dangerous. When participating in whitewater rafting, water skiing, or boating, a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket is a good idea. Helmets are recommended for skiing and snowboarding. Also, use care when hiking as some areas have steep drop offs.
When camping, never leave food outside for extended periods of time, as this can attract raccoons, opossum, and especially bears. Although Black Bears are much more docile that most other bear species, they can be dangerous. Never get between a bear and its young, and keep in mind that bears can often be scared off by loud noises.
