    Welcome

    Welcome to Lake Wally Families!

    We’re so excited to open our new home on the web and share all the hidden gems, family‑friendly adventures, and seasonal moments that make Lake Wallenpaupack a truly special place to visit and explore. As a family‑owned guide, we’re here to help you and your loved ones plan the perfect day—or the whole season—right from the comfort of your own living room.
    Why We Started

    My family and I have been visitors to Lake Wallenpaupack for the past six years, spending countless hours at our lake‑front cabin and discovering the best that this beautiful part of the Poconos has to offer. With two young kids, we quickly found that while there are plenty of great activities around the lake, it can be hard to keep track of them all. We didn’t want to spend hours scrolling through endless pages of listings, so we decided to create one easy, reliable resource: Lake Wally Families.

    What to Expect

    Our site is designed as a simple trip planner. Pick a category—Activities, Farms, Food, or Shopping—scan the quick blurbs and family‑friendly notes, and then save your stops to build a custom outing that fits your timing, budget, and kids’ ages. We’re also adding a blog where we’ll share seasonal guides, local stories, and insider tips—so keep an eye out for that!


    Things We’re Looking Forward to This Summer:

    • July 4th Fireworks: The sky over Lake Wallenpaupack will sparkle brighter than ever for our country’s 250th birthday, and we can’t wait to see the community gather for this patriotic celebration.
    • Wayne County Fair: With rides, games, and local vendors, this fair is a must‑visit for families who love a good carnival.
    • Hikes at Lacawac: Whether you’re tackling the full trail or just enjoying a quick nature walk, Lacawac’s scenic paths offer a peaceful escape from the everyday hustle.

    All that and our 7 year old son really loves to dig holes 🙂

    A Little About Us

    We’re from New Jersey and Lake Wallenpaupack is our special place all year long. While we love trips to the Jersey Shore too, the drive to Lake Wallenpaupack feels like a breath of fresh air in comparison. Instead of the usual traffic‑jammed Parkway, the road to the Poconos is winding, scenic, and incredibly relaxing—setting the perfect tone for a family getaway.

    Thank you for stopping by. We hope our guide makes your Lake Wallenpaupack adventures smoother, more fun, and full of unforgettable memories during every season. Stay tuned upcoming blog post—full of local insights, upcoming events, and the best family-friendly spots around the lake.

    Here’s to many more years of exploring, learning, and enjoying the magic of Lake Wallenpaupack together!
