Peaceful with plenty of space and picnic tables to go around. The pool is nice and the park has plenty of trails. We rented kayaks and had a nice rowing experience.
Love paddleboating around the lake; trails and tables for picnics, as well. Other facilities, though no personal experiece with those.
My family and I have been going to FS for about three years now. We love their pool in the summer months. It's close to home and reasonably priced. In fact, this year we bought a family pass to the pool for $180. The staff are almost always pleasant. As the summer comes to a close, it's also a very nice place to boat, fish, or sight see.
We love visiting Frances Slocum State Park. The grounds are beautiful and meticulously kept. From a family gathering to simply walking the dog you won't be disappointed here. Great fishing spot too! Highly recommended for a very inexpensive family fun day.
This is a great place to just get out and forget work and your problems, just hang out and vegetate. Very nice, calm lake to go kayaking, or maybe hike the trails with your dog. I could spend hours here decompressing and just staring at nothing. Or everything.
The park has a lake for fishing and paddle boats, rowboats and canoes to rent. Lots of pavillions and a swimming pool for a fun afternoon with the kids. There are lots of trails and plenty of parking, with an RV campground, too. Close to town (15 min. to Wilkes-Barre).
We love it here. Not only a beautiful place with hidden trails everywhere but the kids love camping here. Frances slocum has been my fo to fpr family time since i was a young girl.
Clean bathrooms and wonderful volunteers who showed up for the Heritage days made for a WONDERFUL free activity! KUDOS!
Great place for a nice, quiet day of fishing, picnicking, cookout, or rowing a rental on the lake.Love it here.
we go to the park all year long, swimming in the summer, visit the park where the kids can play on the jungle jims etc. taking walks, look for birds, picnicking, great place to take the family. We have had work picnic there as well, a great time was had by all.
