Frances E. Walter Dam Reservoir

This picture shows the Frances E. Walter Dam Reservoir, viewed from the top of the dam. 

The Frances E. Walter Reservoir is just a twenty-five minute car ride from Scranton and a fifteen minute ride from Wilkes-Barre.  This man-made lake is a great site for boating and fishing with the lake being stocked with trout every year.

This view looks down the reservoir-side dam face at the road which disappears under water.    When the water level is very low the road can be used to get to the other side of the reservoir.

                                                                                   

This road is best traveled by boat.

Old Boat With the Winter Blues

This old boat with the winter blues may have been heartened to see the ice receding on this Pocono Mountains lake.  However, its dreams of early spring boating have been torpedoed by yet another storm that has brought a foot of snow today and sunk temperatures back into the 20's.
