Lake Ariel Vacation Homes for Sale

Lake Ariel Basics

At just over 21 years of age, Lake Ariel is quite young by Pennsylvania standards, but the area is still a great place to visit - especially for families. Located in Wayne County Pennsylvania and not too far from New York City, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, Lake Ariel serves as a weekend retreat for residents of these cities to escape to. Angler's flock to Ariel for its superior fishing conditions and active types come here to canoe, and kayak as well as wildlife tours, walking trails, and boating adventures. Visitors to Ariel can also venture to nearby Scranton to explore the wacky world of Harry Houdini at the Harry Houdini Museum. Other attractive Ariel attributes include: seclusion, it's position as the perfect starting point for other Pocono attractions, and it's close proximity to lovely Lake Wallenpaupack. Lake Wallenpaupack is the third largest man-made lake in Pennsylvania featuring roughly 52-miles of shoreline, and six recreation areas with literally hundreds of acres of lush forestlands.
