Lackawanna State Park is located near Dalton on Route 524 just off exit 199 of Interstate 81.
It was established in 1968.
The park is about 11 miles north of Scranton and has around 15 miles worth of trails.
It covers around 1,400 acres and the main attraction of the park is the man made lake.
-And of course the mountain biking.
Lackawanna is one of my favorite places to ride. It offers a multitude of trails that cater to any rider of most difficulties.
Here's a trail map:
(There are updated maps at the kiosks located at the parking lots)
Notable Beginner Trails: Snowflake, Frostbite, Lakeshore
Notable Intermediate Trails: Bull Hill, North Woods, Quarry Ridge, Orchid, Abington, Zeigler (not on map)
All of the trails are fun. If you go during the week, you are most likely the only one on the trails.
After about a year of riding on these trails, I still venture out to Lackawanna State Park.
It can get very wet and muddy after even the lightest of rains. Pick a nice dry day and have fun!
