RV Rental Lackawanna State Park, PA

Covering almost 200 acres and stretching two and a half miles long, Lackawanna Lake is the centerpiece of Lackawanna State Park. If you love boating, fishing, or other water sports, you'll feel right at home here.

Gas motors are prohibited on the lake, making it a very popular spot for rowing, canoeing, and kayaking. There are three boat launching areas spread around the lake, and boat rentals are available from the concession stand near the pool area. A small number of mooring spaces are also available seasonally.

For many campers who take to the waters of Lackawanna Lake, the aim of the game is to try and catch a big one (or two). Warm-water and cold-water fish species can be caught here, so anglers can try targeting muskellunge, trout, walleye, channel catfish, and several other species. There's also an ADA-accessible fishing pier on the lake, not to mention a separate three-acre pond in the north of the park designed for youth fishing (ages 12 and under) only.

If you're a keen hiker, you'll be pleased to learn that there are approximately 18 miles of hiking trails to explore in Lackawanna State Park.
