Kayaking allows us to spend quiet time on the water under the golden summer sun or in the cold of winter. It’s perhaps one of the most relaxing ways to spend a day in nature. With 2,500 lakes in Pennsylvania, we have a ton of places to go kayaking all year round. However, if you prefer a remote, quiet spot that’s drenched with natural beauty, make your way to Prompton State Park in Pennsylvania.

Spanning 2,000 acres across Wayne County, Prompton State Park offers a full menu of activities. However, the jewel of the park just might be the cozy 290-acre Prompton Lake.

While the lake beckons those who love to fish, it also provides an idyllic backdrop for exploring by kayak. (However, you'll have to bring your own kayak as there isn't a rental facility at the park.)
