Most beautiful scenery in Scranton area. About 4 miles of walking in a peaceful environment, just yourself and mother nature. Many animals and wonderful Lake view. Bring your lunch and enjoy!

My husband and I are here visiting the area and this was one of the stops I added for us to see. This is a beautiful spot, especially now in the fall with all of the leaf colors, and we had clear skies in spite of the cold windy weather. Beautiful wildlife! We crossed paths with turkeys, chipmunks, and even a bald eagle. The hike wasn't terrible, the website says 3.5 miles, and it's all paved except for the paths from the parking lot down to the main walking path. Bring your camera, there will be many photo opportunities. If you're in Scranton like we are to do a "The Office" visit, don't expect to see what you saw on the show, or to be able to get too close to the water. (Which is fine, and you will still enjoy the peace and views). There are a couple of spots where you can walk to to be closest to the water, and sit and just enjoy the peace. Its absolutely worth the visit and so beautiful!

It’s a beautiful place for walking/ jogging. Cycling & pets are not allowed. It’s a good trail of around 3.5 miles circumference can easily burn around 8000 calories one whole round.It’s my favorite spot for outdoor Smule 😂😂😂😂. Only issue with this Lake is , there are no Restrooms.
About Lake Scranton
Nestled in the heart of Scranton, Pennsylvania, Lake Scranton is a captivating retreat known for its serene beauty and picturesque surroundings. Boasting approximately 4 miles of inviting walking paths, this lake promises a unique adventure for nature enthusiasts and anyone looking to unwind. As you traverse the paved trails around the lake, you'll be enchanted by the abundant wildlife; keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles soaring above or playful chipmunks skittering across your path. Despite Scranton's bustling reputation thanks to the famed TV series 'The Office', Lake Scranton offers a contrasting calmness—though the lake isn’t accessible for a dip, the ambiance and tranquility more than compensate. Whether rain-kissed or basking in fall's vibrant colors, each visit presents a new and delightful scene, perfect for photography enthusiasts or a simple picnic with friends. However, do plan accordingly as restrooms are unavailable. Easily approachable and welcoming, the trail fosters a spontaneous sense of community with greetings shared among walkers. Although cycling and pets are restricted, the trail serves as an excellent place for walking, jogging, and occasional corporate events. So, pack your lunch, don your best walking shoes, and don't forget your camera to capture the ever-changing beauty that is Lake Scranton!
