La Plume pairs small-town ease with an unexpected amount of learning, nature, and access. Anchored by Keystone College, the community hums with year-round lectures, arts, and athletics, while the surrounding hills roll into the Endless Mountains. Commuters appreciate quick connections to Scranton and neighboring Wyoming County, with conveniences in Factoryville and Tunkhannock. Residents benefit from county services through Lackawanna County.
Families find solid K–12 options with the Lackawanna Trail School District, known for close-knit classrooms and community-supported programs. Higher education is steps away at Keystone College, whose campus includes the Keystone College Woodlands, an outdoor classroom with public trails, native plantings, and environmental research. On clear nights, the college’s Thomas G. Cupillari ’60 Observatory opens for stargazing and educational talks.
Paddle the Tunkhannock Creek, cycle the Trolley Trail through preserved greenway, or head ten miles south to Lackawanna State Park for kayaking, miles of singletrack, and picnics by the lake. A short scenic drive leads to the awe-inspiring Tunkhannock Viaduct—better known as the Nicholson Bridge—celebrated by the region’s tourism bureau. Seasonal festivals, local farm markets, and campus performances round out a calendar that feels lively without overwhelming daily life.
