About Tobyhanna State Park

Tobyhanna State Park spreads across 5,440 acres in Monroe and Wayne counties in northeastern Pennsylvania. Its centerpiece is 170-acre Tobyhanna Lake, and the park also takes in part of Tobyhanna Creek. The main entrance sits on PA 423, about two miles north of the community of Tobyhanna. Gouldsboro State Park lies right next door. Visitors can swim, fish, hike, boat, picnic, and stay overnight. Some remote areas contain old unexploded artillery shells, so visitors should leave any such items alone and report them to the park office.
