What’s your favorite way to spend a lazy summer day? Lounging on the beach? Floating in the cool lake water? Or, going on leisurely hike through lush green? Well, if you love all of that – and picnicking by the water – plan a day trip or an overnight to this crystal clear lake in Pennsylvania, where you can do a little bit of everything or absolutely nothing at all.

Slip on your swimming gear; pack a picnic, and set the GPS for Tobyhanna State Park, a spectacular 5,440-acre park in Northeastern PA.

And, the masterpiece of the park just might be Tobyhanna Lake, a 170-acre crystal clear lake that will take your breath away.

Spend your day on or in the water. Fancy a little boating? Then, rent a rowboat, a kayak, a canoe, or a paddle boat for a leisurely journey on the water.

Or, if you like things that require a little less physical effort, rent one of the electric motor boats. Rental boats are available each day from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day.

Relax on the sandy beach before jumping into the cool water of Tobyhanna Lake to cool off. And, grab a picnic table for a relaxing picnic by the water.
