Pocono Mountains Magazine - August 2025

This month on Pocono Mountains Magazine: join Bri & Dee on the Hop-On Hop-Off Wine Trolley, a unique and worry-free way to explore the Pocono Beverage Trail and beyond! Watch Jim tee off with some golfing buddies at Woodloch Springs, where guests will find beautiful scenery and a family-first approach to hospitality across the resort properties. Come along with Deanna as she visits Magnolia Streamside Resort and Magnolia Quantum Wellness Center, where two sisters turned their shared dream into a place of peace and renewal. Brianna takes a tour of Pocono Camp & Glamp, a beloved former summer camp in Jim Thorpe that is being restored and reimagined by its new owners with 40 newly-renovated cabins with glamp-like amenities, tent and full-hookup RV sites, and so much more! Next, Deanna visits Daisy Field Farm, where a legacy three generations in the making provides trail rides rooted in family, heritage, horsemanship, and the rhythm of farm life.

Camp, paddle, fish, and soak in nature at one of the oldest state parks in PA: Jim takes us for an overnight visit to picturesque Promised Land, nestled in Delaware State Forest, during the latest installment of the Exploring State Parks in the Poconos series.

A short documentary set at the iconic Pocono Raceway explores the life and career of NASCAR driver Matt DiBenedetto. In a heartfelt interview, Matt reflects on the challenges, triumphs, and personal growth that have shaped his journey behind the wheel and shares what makes racing at the Pocono Raceway so meaningful. This month’s episode also introduces road rivals Crystal and Matt, who became partners in life after meeting at The Weatherly Hillclimb, a bi-annual racing tradition held in the small town of Weatherly since 1960. Brianna takes a look at the beloved event and the love story behind it.
