The Poconos
Lacawac Sanctuary

The name Lacawac comes from the American Indian tribe called Lenape. The Lenapes were the Pennsylvania tribe that lived in the Poconos, and still has descendants in Pennsylvania and now of course scattered all over the country. In their language, Lacawac means fork. There was an important Indian trail that passed through the Lacawac Sanctuary, hence the name. There are 500 acres in Lacawac Sanctuary, including a glacial lake and lots and lots of forest.

The people that maintain the sanctuary also offer nature programs, like history tours, bird-walking treks, environmental classes, and a gift shop. There's a hiking trail open to the public, called the Maurice Braun Nature Trail, and it's a mile long. It's a scenic pretty trail, offering views of Lake Wallenpaupack. It begins right out of the parking lot, so it's very easy to find the trailhead.

Lacawac Sanctuary is a nature preserve run by a not-for-profit corporation and relies mainly on annual pledges from its members.

It's located on Pennsylvania Highway 507, on the north shore of Lake Wallenpaupack. If you're coming from I-84, take exit 6 for Lake Wallenpaupack.
