Best Lakes in NEPA
Hello all,
I'm new to this site, but have lived in NEPA most of my life. The wife and I have become interested in looking a lakefront property/houses but have only ever visited a few (Wallenpaupack/Winola). Any others that people can recommend would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Well for a Lakefront property house...........
I'd look into Towamensing Trails ( non- motor boat lake)or Harmony Lake off of 115/940 area.( which is a motor boat lake)
Emerald Lakes is another nice lake or even Lake Naomi. ( smaller lake, quieter...)
All of these are non gated so you can just take a nice Sunday drive and look around.

Our family has a nice cabin on Paupakan Shores in Lakeville. Great lake with a swim beach, fishing, and no gas motors. Really quiet and peaceful.

Some townships are making permitting quite a difficult and lengthy process as of late. Be sure to ask about wetland studies/wetland delineations when purchasing lake/stream/river front properties. (If planning to build as opposed to buy existing)

Harvey's Lake is very beautiful, but it is now being discovered by new transplants; housing prices are rising accordingly. I believe there are just under a half-dozen homes for sale right now in the borough in excess of $1,000,000, with some pushing $2,000,000!  I just passed a Maserati on my commute home from work this evening, so apparently money is starting to find its way into our area.  |

Eagles Mere and Lake Mokoma (Laporte) in Sullivan County are beautiful, but expensive.
For year round living, I really like the ones in northern Susquehanna Co (Quaker Lake, Silver Lake, etc) because you can be in downtown Binghamton in less than 15 mins for a nice dinner, sports event, hospital, etc.
