RV Rental Tobyhanna, PA

Book an RV in Tobyhanna and gain access to dozens of large parks in the Poconos area. Tobyhanna State Park is the closest. Although not quite as large as the other state parks, preserves, and forests in the area, there are plenty of adventures to be had. Tobyhanna Lake is calm and serene, with mature trees lining the banks. A boat launch is available to the public, and if boat-less visitors wish to hit the water, state park managers have a number of small crafts available to rent, including canoes and kayaks. Native bass, pickerel, yellow perch, catfish, and a few others are frequently caught. The lake is stocked with brown and brook trouts in springtime, also. Several miles of trails wind around the lake. Hikers, take note: a couple trails are considered "technical" or challenging because they require leaping from boulder to boulder, and detours are difficult. Small children and pets should avoid these trails. Bring your Tobyhanna camper rental as there is plenty of parking that can accommodate long trailers and motorhomes.

For even more room and wilderness, the adjacent state game land encompasses over 25,000 acres. There are several miles of established trails, and experienced hikers can go off-trail, though it's highly recommended that they be experienced with orienteering. The terrain, which has patches of wetlands, is mostly flat with random groves of trees. During the hunting seasons, hikers, bikers, and any other park users should wear blaze orange as a preventative measure. Camping is permitted as long as you are within 200 feet of a designated trail and more than 500 feet away from a water source. There are several parking areas that can accommodate RVs and camper trailers, and for most part, it is okay to park overnight. Check with the park manager if you are uncertain.

When making arrangements for an RV rental, be sure to plan for overnight stays. Where will you park?
