A sand beach (unguarded) is open from 8 am to sunset from late May to mid-September. 300 picnic tables and a reservable picnic pavilion are available throughout the year. Hiking trails The trails in the park are well-marked; often half a dozen bright blazes of paint are visible at once. A blue-blazed trail circles the lake; it is level, well-cleared and generally gravelled; "Although not recommended for persons with disabilities, wheelchair users have completed the trail" A yellow-blazed trail extending northeast to Pennsylvania Route 196 and a red-blazed trail linking the park to Gouldsboro State Park to the northwest are more difficult to pass due to tree roots and stones. Soundscape The park is close to Interstate 380 to the west-southwest, and the western portion of the park suffers frequent vehicular noise. Some vehicle noise is also present to the south of the lake from Pennsylvania Route 423. (Light plane traffic emanates from the Mount Pocono Municipal Airport, approximately to the south. Other noise from park maintenance, constant restroom fans, vending machines, and residential neighbors affect the southern margin of the lake. The quietest portion of the park on marked trails is partway along the yellow trail north of its crossing of the Tobyhanna Creek, where natural sounds prevail a majority of the time. Winter facilities A ice skating area and a one-way snowmobile trail are designated during the winter. Ice fishing is popular, but ice thickness must be monitored by the user. Hunting Hunting is permitted on the park land and adjacent game lands except on Tobyhanna Lake and a small crescent of land to the east of Tobyhanna Lake. Signs demarcate the regions of the park where hunting is permitted, and admonish visitors to wear orange to be seen.
