Discover Tobyhanna State Park


Getting Outdoors

Tobyhanna State Park is filled with a variety of fun outdoor activities to try out. One of the most popular is hiking. The park is home to over 10 miles of trails, all of which have their own difficulties and landscapes. One trail of interest is the Lakeside Trail which runs five miles around Tobyhanna Lake. There’s also the Frank Gantz Trail which covers three miles but is a very difficult pathway to trek down. This trail also crosses PA Route 4013, and therefore it’s important to be very careful when hiking on it.

Swimming is also an option at Tobyhanna Lake. This massive lake features a sandy beach which is opened from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The beach offers bathrooms, but there are no lifeguards on the beach, so you’ll have to swim at your own risk.

Visitors and vacationers to this state park could also fish at the 170-acre Tobyhanna Lake. This lake is filled with bass, catfish, and sunfish. During the winter, guests could also try ice fishing here. There is a fishing pier available which is ADA-accessible.

Another activity to try out while enjoying the park is the five-mile mountain bike trail. This trail is easy to ride your bike down and connects to the Lakeside Trail. Along the way, you’ll be able to view many beautiful landscapes, including Bender Swamp.

Camping at Tobyhanna State Park

Camping with an RV at Tobyhanna State Park is very easy to do thanks to its large campground. It features 140 RV rental sites and amenities such as water, trash, and 30 and 50-amps. There are also non-electric sites available. Pets are allowed to stay at the campground, but there is a fee. Also, visitors aren’t able to bring their own firewood to help prevent the spread of possible disease. The campground does provide firewood though for campers.

This campground also features a horseshoe pit, volleyball court, and playground. There are many ADA-accessible areas, as well. Keep in mind that due to the campground’s elevation, it can get to be very chilly during the evening.

Another place to drive your motorhome rental to is the Wilkes Barre’s 309 Brown Cow. This quirky historic landmark was created in 1967 and pays tribute to the local dairy industry. Known officially as Three-O-Nina, this white and brown cow rests next to a local deli and gas station where you could stop by to take some photos with this massive cow sculpture.

You could also head over to Jim Thorpe with your camper rental to see the Asa Packer Mansion Museum. Built in 1852, this Victorian structure was once the home to Asa Packer, a local coal magnate.
