Nescopeck State Park

Luzerne County Pennsylvania

Bordered on the south by the steeply rising Mount Yeager and on the north by Nescopeck Mountain, Nescopeck State Park encompasses 3,550 acres in Butler and Dennison townships in Luzerne County. Nescopeck Creek meanders through the valley providing water for wetlands and rich forests.

Nescopeck is currently under development as one of Pennsylvania’s newest state parks and will include an environmental education center.

Currently, two main parking areas have been established. One is in the Lake Frances Day Use Area and the other is further west along Honey Hole Road. Portable toilets are in the parking area near Lake Frances.
