About Frances Slocum
A 1,035-acre park named for Frances Slocum, captured by Lenape in 1778 at age five and never returned to her family. The 165-acre horseshoe-shaped lake offers boating, swimming in the pool, and fishing for walleye, muskellunge, and bass. Nine miles of hiking trails and 5 miles of mountain biking trails wind through the Luzerne County forests.
