Winter in Jim Thorpe

Discover winter activities in Jim Thorpe, PA.

Whether you're planning a romantic couples escape or a family outing, there's no place like Jim Thorpe! Just over the river and through the woods, this historic Pennsylvania town is tucked away in the mountainous Lehigh Gorge, and the Victorian streets of Old Mauch Chunk are an ideal backdrop for savoring the most wonderful time of the year.

This winter, see a show or visit a local gallery as you explore the arts, culture, and entertainment scene. When the day winds to a close, warm up with a delicious meal downtown then cozy up by the fireplace at a quaint Jim Thorpe hotel or bed and breakfast.
