About Tink Wig Lake

Your Private Lake Paradise

Located less than an hour from Scranton and Hawley, Tink Wig Lake lies in Pike County, PA.

This privately owned lake covers a surface area of approximately 115 acres and reaches depths of between 10 and 12 feet.

Tink Wig Lake is a non-motorboating lake but is conveniently located 20 minutes from all-sports Lake Wallenpaupack.

Tink Wig Lake History

The original inhabitants of this area were Lenni Lenape and Iroquois Indians who lived along the Lackawaxen River.

It is from this river that the town in which Tink Wig Lake lies got its name.

It's also said that Lackawaxen is a Native American term for "swift waters."

The first European settlers to arrive came just before the Revolutionary War.

Inhabitants used the area for lumbering purposes until the first housing developments started popping up in the 1970s.

Convenient to the Pocono Mountains, Wineries and Museums

Just 46.3 miles southwest of Tink Wig Lake, Scranton PA is home to four wineries which lake lovers and residents can tour.

Capra Collina Vineyard is just one such establishment with fruity, European style wines made by artisans with more than 50 years experience in the industry.

Another entertainment option is to visit one of the local museums, such as the Everhart Museum of Natural History, Science and Art or The Scranton Times-Tribune Newseum.
