Prompton State Park
State park
About
Prompton State Park is a quiet lakeside park with boat launching and picnicking on the 290-acre Prompton Lake. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operates the lake, and 26 miles of hiking trails surround it.
The park lists boating, disc golf, fishing, hiking, hunting, mountain biking, picnicking and winter recreation as activities. It is reached from US 6 at the junction of PA 170, near Prompton in Wayne County.
When to go
The park is open every day of the year, sunrise to sunset, and day use areas close at dusk. Facility seasons and hours aren't posted on the park page, so contact the Lackawanna State Park office, which manages Prompton.
Good to know
The park has no reservable facilities.
During established seasons, hunting is permitted daily on about 1,400 acres, so check the season before a fall visit.
Pennsylvania state parks welcome pets in designated areas.
