Preview: I had never heard of Lackawanna State Park before I began researching this book. When I discovered that it is located only 10 miles outside of Scranton, my hopes were not very high. I expected a heavily used campground with lots of noise and trailers. When I visited the park, however, I was quite surprised. Lackawanna is a fairly large park (1,411 acres) that has many hiking trails, a beautiful 200-acre lake, and a campground with several appealing walk-in tent areas. A couple of miles off Interstate 81, the park is easy to get to, so it is a nice place to visit with the family: there are playgrounds, a swimming pool, an amphitheater where the park staff holds environmental programs, and plenty of places to fish or launch a boat.
