Lake Scranton, Reservoir in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, United States.
Lake Scranton is a reservoir in Lackawanna County surrounded by walking paths and natural areas. The water body sits in a landscape where visitors can move around easily on established trails and observe the environment.
The reservoir was built in 1898 by Pennsylvania American Water Company to supply water to surrounding communities. The project was carried out under William Walker Scranton's direction, and the water body later took his name.
The television series The Office featured Lake Scranton in episodes Beach Games and Dunder Mifflin Infinity, connecting the reservoir to popular media.
A loop trail of about 3.5 miles circles the water and works well for walking and running. The location is also suitable for fishing and bird watching, with straightforward access for most visitors.
The water body was originally called Burned Bridge Reservoir before receiving its current name. It is primarily fed by Stafford Meadow Brook near East Mountain.
