     First Pond is a nice lake to visit. If you came for an overnight stay Ken's woods Campgrounds is a brilliant location to camp; Fernwood Hotel and Resort is a pleasant place to get some rest. First Pond sees pretty high levels of precipitation; May is the wettest month with most rain; the driest month of the year is February. Really magnificent skiing awaits you at Alpine Mountain, and a short spree to Bushkill Falls is always worthwhile.
This lake is
 
   so wonderful. Outdoor World Timothy Lake is a brilliant campground nearby, and after a long day outdoors Caesars Pocono Palace is a glorious spot to spend a night or two. The Bald Barren Trail is a tremendous hiking trail near First Pond, and if you come at the right time of year, Hornbeck's Creek offers some magnificent whitewater.
This lake is so wonderful. A stunning lake like Place Pond in the neighborhood of First Pond is a wonderful location to pop
 
               by, and drift down the rapids of Bush Kill Creek in a kayak. The warmest time of the year at First Pond arrives with high temperatures in the 80's. Summer overnight lows descend down to the 50's. Daytime highs through the wintertime are in the 30's; after the sun is down through the winter temperatures at First Pond descend into the 10's. Near First Pond you locate the Flat Ridge Trail which is a splendid hiking trail, and lakes are such peaceful places, why not have a look at Second Pond.
If only every spot had this much outdoors entertaining stuff, what a great planet it would be. An afternoon playing golf at Country Club of the Poconos at Big Ridge is always a diversion, and the good people of East Stroudsburg like to hang out close by. Skiing at Shawnee Mountain is one of those things you just ought to do; going for a hike on the Kinney Trail is always a tremendous adventure. And if that's not enough, there's a lot more to do in the vicinity of First Pond. Second Pond Dam is not far at all from First Pond, and if you're looking for a delightful trip, Delaware National Scenic River is pretty near.

Shohola Creek
14 miles away
Raft??? First off, I cant see raft going through box canyon. It might be possible, but I wouldn't want to see someone I care about be the first. After the box, downstream of the route 6 bridge, you would need a lot of rain, I mean an awful lot of rain to get through the flat water section. Personally, I do some tough runs (CL4+) and I'm not sure I'd wanna be there with that much water. With plenty of water, medium level, we were scraping a lot in the flat water section. Also, in the canyon, if someone gets hurt, they are in for a bad day. This is evident by looking at a typo map or looking down from route three bridge. ''outside the state you might find the rivers here are more forgiving''. My travel for White Water is limited: NY, NJ, MA, CT, WV, MD, VT, NC. Never been out west. With my limited experience the above states and PA and 5 years kayaking including winter, I have no clue what the above quote means. Ratings CL1-5 (6 being a rating meaning it might not be runable), while far from perfect is a pretty good indication of water difficulty. Don't paddle here unless you know wha...
