The Tank Hollow Trail offers an easy 3.2-mile (5.2 km) hike with a gentle 238 feet (73 metres) of elevation gain, taking around 1 hour and 24 minutes to complete. You'll wander through mixed oak, pine, and hemlock woodlands, passing mountain laurel and rhododendron thickets, before reaching the Tank Hollow Overlook. This viewpoint provides expansive, panoramic views of the Lehigh River Valley and the river's distinctive horseshoe bend.
Planning your visit requires a few considerations. Since the trail is in State Game Lands #141, wearing blaze orange is strongly advised during hunting seasons. Parking can be variable, with gates sometimes open for closer access, so be prepared for a potentially longer walk to the trailhead. Given the possibility of muddy sections, especially after rain, appropriate footwear is recommended.
The Tank Hollow Overlook is widely considered one of the most scenic views in the Poconos, making this an excellent choice for a high-reward, low-effort outing. Beyond the main overlook, you can also explore a hidden, multi-tiered waterfall, adding another unique natural feature to your adventure.
