[edit] Pronunciation
Canadensis is pronounced Can ah den sis.
[edit] Tourism
Canadensis is the "heart" of the Poconos; it is home to a number of bed & breakfasts as well as a very small skiing resort toward Stroudsburg, named "Alpine Mountain" along with a family friendly mountain resort, Daniels Top-O-The Poconos. The area is more for the outdoor enthusiasts, mostly during the summer, but also during the winter when skiing is available. In the summer Canadensis serves as a home to many sleepaway campers from the tri-state area at Camp Canadensis[1]. There are no actual tourism sites within Canadensis. Canadensis has few restaurants and small businesses which function to serve the local economy rather than attract tourists.
[edit] Transportation
Canadensis has two state roads, Pennsylvania Route 447 and Pennsylvania Route 390, which intersect at the "center" of town.
