FEATURED EXPERIENCES
THE ISLAND JOURNEY
Step beyond the familiar and explore the “other” island at Shawnee. Guests journey across shallow water onto Depuy Island, where stories of history, mystery, and the Delaware River landscape unfold along the way. Part exploration, part storytelling, this experience captures the quieter side of Shawnee.
ALONG THE RIVER WALK
Some experiences are meant to be unhurried. Along the River Walk invites guests to slow down, follow the edge of the Delaware, and experience Shawnee at its natural pace. Gentle conversation, fresh air, and the sound of the river create one of the simplest — and most meaningful — moments of a stay.
FIRST LIGHT ON THE RIVER
As the morning fog lifts from the Delaware, guests depart on a quiet guided paddle with coffee in hand and the river slowly waking around them. Peaceful, unhurried, and deeply connected to place, First Light on the River is designed to begin the day the Shawnee way — calm, reflective, and immersed in nature.
MORNING CAST ON THE DELAWARE
A relaxed morning along the riverbank where conversation slows and the Delaware sets the pace. Guided by Shawnee’s recreation team, Morning Cast on the Delaware is less about the catch and more about the experience — peaceful water, fresh mountain air, and a timeless Pocono tradition.
FIRESIDE AT SHAWNEE
As evening settles over the resort, the fire is lit and guests gather together beneath the open sky. With s’mores, conversation, and the sounds of the river nearby, Fireside at Shawnee is a simple tradition designed to slow the day down and bring people together.
THE SHAWNEE DRIFT
Float gently from Ft. DePuy toward the Delaware River on one of Shawnee’s most relaxed experiences of the season. Whether drifting in a tube or floating alongside family and friends, this is summer at its simplest — sunshine, river water, laughter, and nowhere in particular to be.
SHAWNEE
PLAYHOUSE

With its charming ambiance and intimate setting, the theater offers a unique experience for audiences of all ages.
