The 1,445-acre Lackawanna State Park is in northeastern Pennsylvania, ten miles north of Scranton. The centerpiece of the park, the 198-acre Lackawanna Lake, is surrounded by picnic areas and multi-use trails winding through forest. Boating, camping, fishing, biking and swimming are popular recreation activities.

The name Lackawanna is the English spelling of an Indian word which means “a place where the river forks”. Within the boundaries of the Lackawanna Forest District are a county and river that also bear this name. Thus naming the state forest “Lackawanna” was a perfect fit for the regional area this district covers.
