Lackawanna State Park is located near Dalton on Pennsylvania Route 524 just off exit 199 of Interstate 81.

This native tribe occupied the area for many years using a trail that led north to the territories of present-day New York state.

Next the land was rented to farmers by the railroad and later by Robert Moffat, a prominent Scranton coal baron.

The lake and creek are stocked with largemouth bass, trout, pickerel, channel catfish, bullhead, and muskellunge.

The common game species are ruffed grouse, squirrels, turkey, white-tailed deer, and rabbits.

Trailheads are at the States Creek Mooring Area and on Rowlands, Wallsville and Austin roads.

The trails loop through the park passing by the lake, through forests and fields, and by woodland streams.

The campsites have electric hook-ups and there is a modern washhouse with restrooms and showers with hot water.
