Lackawanna State Park, State park in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania.
The 1,445-acre natural area contains a 198-acre lake surrounded by forested landscapes with multi-use trails for outdoor activities.
The land was previously owned by the Maitland Fair and Driving Park Association in 1898, featuring a horse racing course at the fairgrounds.
The name Lackawanna comes from Lenape language, referring to a stream that forks, reflecting the Native American presence in this region.
