Best time to visit Tobyhanna State Park
Late May through early October is the prime window, when the campground is open, the beach is staffed for swimming, and boat rentals operate on Tobyhanna Lake. July and August bring the warmest weather and highest demand, so reservations fill quickly. September and early October are excellent shoulder months for RV travel, with cool nights, thinner crowds, and vivid Pocono fall foliage. Winter visitors can still use day-use areas for skiing and ice fishing, but the campground typically closes for the season.

Tobyhanna Lake is open to non-powered boats and boats with electric motors only, keeping the water quiet for paddlers and anglers. A seasonal concession rents kayaks, canoes, and rowboats near the beach, and two launches serve boaters bringing their own craft.
- Fishing EasyRV parking available
Tobyhanna Lake offers warm-water fishing for largemouth bass, pickerel, yellow perch, and panfish, and is stocked with trout each spring by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. Shore access is good along much of the Lakeside Trail, and ice fishing is popular in winter.
- Frank Gantz Trail ModerateRV parking available
The Frank Gantz Trail links Tobyhanna State Park with neighboring Gouldsboro State Park over roughly 4 miles of forest and wetland terrain. It is open to hiking and, in winter, cross-country skiing, and crosses several small streams on boardwalks.
- Picnicking at the Day-Use Area EasyRV parking available
The day-use area along the lake includes picnic tables, pavilions, grills, and open lawn with lake views. Several pavilions can be reserved in advance, and the large paved lot easily handles RVs pulling in for a lunch stop.
- Family CampgroundRV parking available
The Tobyhanna campground offers roughly 140 tent and trailer sites spread through a wooded setting near the lake. Sites are non-electric but the loop includes modern restrooms with warm showers, a dump station, and easy walking access to the beach and trails.

When snow covers the Pocono Plateau, Tobyhanna offers cross-country skiing on the Lakeside and Frank Gantz trails, plus designated snowmobile routes connecting to Gouldsboro State Park. Ice fishing is permitted on Tobyhanna Lake when ice conditions are safe.
