Prompton pairs small-town quiet with big-outdoor energy, set along Route 6 just west of Honesdale in Wayne County. Weekends often start at Prompton State Park, where 26+ miles of multi-use trails trace the shoreline of Prompton Lake, a flood-control reservoir managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Anglers cast for bass and trout, paddlers enjoy calm coves, and mountain bikers find rolling singletrack with scenic overlooks. Year-round, the park’s open fields host casual disc golf and winter snowshoeing, making outdoor time part of daily life.
Families appreciate strong community services. Students attend schools in the Wayne Highlands School District, with academic programs, arts, and athletics anchored in nearby campuses. Quality healthcare is close at Wayne Memorial Hospital, and lifelong learners tap the Wayne County Public Library for programs, maker activities, and digital resources. Civic details—from permits to parks—are easy to find through the Wayne County government portal.
Commuters use the Route 6 corridor for quick trips to local employers or to larger job hubs like Scranton, while seasonal events and farmers markets in the Honesdale area round out a friendly, outdoors-forward lifestyle.
