Lakes in the Poconos
The region is dotted with natural and man-made lakes, from large public lakes to small private community lakes.
Lakefront vs. lake access
- Lakefront homes sit directly on the water
- Lake access means guests can use a community lake or beach nearby — rules vary by community
Always confirm boating, swimming, and dock rules with the owner, as many lakes are governed by community associations.
