This park, which was established in 1962, is officially listed by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources as being undeveloped.

Prompton State Park is 4.2 miles (6.8 km) west of Honesdale on Pennsylvania Route 170.

[3][4] In May 1942, heavy rains caused the Lackawaxen River and Dyberry Creek to rise rapidly.

The record-breaking flooding in nearby Honesdale and Hawley claimed 29 lives and caused over $7 million damages.

Congress authorized funding in 1948 for the construction of two dams by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The disc golf course is located at the dam entrance at the south end of the park.

All hiking trails are also open to mountain biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.
