Top Parks in North abington township, Lackawanna county, Pennsylvania, United states

Lackawanna State Park

Address: 1839 N Abington Rd, North Abington Township, PA 18414, USA

“Clean and safe. Pool goes from about 16 inches deep to about six feet deep, with an enormous splash pad, so fun for all ages, including toddlers. No diving, and no diving boards. About $5 to get in, memberships are available at the park office, just down the road from the pool. Daily group rates available. I've never ordered anything, but snack bar looks pretty sweet. Picnic tables outside. We have reserved a pavilion for birthday parties. I think they have cabins and yurts and boats available for rent. Great fishing in the lake. Would recommend without hesitation. Check out Nathaniel Cole State Park in Hurpersville, NY also. Free swimming in beautiful, clean lake, surrounded by manicured beach. Did I mention free?”

Messimer Preserve

Address: Grist Mill Rd, North Abington Township, PA 18414, USA

“This small tract of land mostly runs along the Tunkhannock Creek, just outside of Lackawanna State Park. It loses 1 star for ease of access, or lack thereof. There are 2 points of access. The first is a small lot on Grist Mill Rd where you have to walk 1/2 to 3/4 mile up the road past private property. There are no signs telling you where to go, or where the preserve begins/ends. Just follow Grist Mill until you reach the creek. The second access is a State Park lot off of Rt 438 & Cole Rd, park and then walk over the bridge and locate the South Branch Trail to your left and follow that through the corn field and into the woods about a mile. The trail and boundries are not well marked and you have to cross private property, so be mindful. Once in the preserve, there are some nice spots along the creek and a lot of wildlife opportunities.”
