Let's start with a few questions to narrow down your options.


The name, Tobyhanna, comes from a Native American word that means "dark waters whose banks are lined with alder trees." Though there were settlers as early as late 1700s, mostly trappers and a few farmers, a real village wasn't established until late 1800 when the Tobyhanna and Lehigh Lumber Company was founded. The company opened a handful of mills in the area, and the influx of jobs drew people to the town. When the area industry dwindled, a former bank cashier somehow ponied up the money to purchase a majority of the village in early 1900s, consisting of 30 homes and around 120 acres of land
Due to the high mountains sheltering the water, Tobyhanna Lakes often were covered in ice for several months out of the year. A new enterprise formed: ice that was used to keep fresh produce cool and in residential homes' kitchens. In those days, there were no electric freezers, and the wealthier homes had what was called "ice boxes," which were used to prolong perishable food life.
Today, Tobyhanna is a thriving vacation spot in part due to the neighboring resort towns, thus making it a great place to visit with your rental RV.
