It takes a special breed to tackle the Tough Mudder Pocono events. The next series of challenges is September 10 and 11, 2022. You need strength, endurance and determination to compete in these one-of-a-kind races, but even the toughest mudders need a place to chill and relax before and after the event. Skytop Lodge is the perfect destination for the entire family.
Located midway between New York City and Scranton, Pennsylvania, Skytop Lodge offers a 5,500-acre playground. The resort includes a stately main lodge built in 1928 and a modern lakefront inn.
Skytop offers a variety of activities, including swimming, hiking, golf and plain old relaxation. The world-class spa will provide the perfect location to wind down after the event to relieve sore muscles and prepare for your return to day-to-day living. There’s no need to leave the resort to dine, either, as you can enjoy world-class quality restaurants within steps of your room.
We offer many activities on our 5,500-acre property. Enjoy the outdoors on one of our exclusive hiking trails. Take in spectacular mountain views along the 4-mile long West Rim Trail or the 3-mile long Campbell’s View trail. If you want to stay closer to sea level, you can hike the Rhododendron Swamp Trail, where you can discover the Wildlife Viewing Shelter.
If you’re looking for less strenuous activities, visit The Nest, our luxurious day spa at Skytop Lodge. Enjoy massages, body treatments and facials in a relaxing and peaceful environment — a true reward for surviving the Tough Mudder event.
If you have worked up an appetite, be sure to visit one of our fantastic restaurants with cuisine for every taste. If you’re looking for traditional breakfast or dinner dining, visit Windsor. If you’re looking for a more casual experience, try Lakeview with fantastic views of the lake and golf course. If you’re looking to celebrate with your friends with a beer and some pub food, then you’ll enjoy the Taproom.
Perhaps you’re looking for a different type of competition? Our golf course offers plenty of challenging play on the 6,656-yard mountain-style course on the top of a plateau. Test your skills on the wide fairways spotted with strategically placed bunkers. After your round, drop by Callaway’s between the 9th and 10th holes for a quick bite and refreshing drink.
