Lake Teedyuskung is a 79-acre reservoir located in Lackawaxen Township. The lake is home to all walks of wildlife, including deer, turtles, foxes, herons, the occasional black bear, and many varieties of lake fish.
The lake has about three miles of shoreline and has a maximum depth of about 30 feet. The water is clean as can be; it is fed through multiple springs. It carries a brown tint due to the presence of tannic acid- a natural substance given off by the evergreen trees that populate the shoreline (this substance is also used to tan hides or stain wood!). The lake is rich in both beauty and history.
The Lenni Lenape Native Americans were the original settlers of Lake Teedyuskung in the early 17th century. Moving into the early 18th century, the Susquehanna Delaware natives became the dominant tribe in the area. Chief Teedyuskung (1700-1763) was the strong-willed spokesman of the Susquehanna Delaware Indians. He fought the white settlers for the land in which he believed belonged to his tribe. Unfortunately, in 1762 Teedyuskung’s desperate battle for the land was lost and his requests were denied.
Taking on a personality all of its own, Lake Teedyuskung also offers four seasons of fun that make Woodloch the best family lake resort in the Pocono Mountains! Explore all around our lake spring through autumn with our kayaks, rowboats, paddleboats, paddleboards and sailboats- or hop on one of our pontoons for a guided tour. Or relax your mind with some catch-and-release fishing from one of several designated docks.
As the waters warm during the lazy days of summer, the lake becomes a hot spot for swimming and waterslide action. Bask in the sunshine on our beach area, or gear up at our Teahouse Dock for water skiing! When the winds of winter scatter snow along Woodloch, lace up for some ice skating and hockey.
The spring-fed four-season lake offers boating, water skiing, swimming, water sliding, and lounging in the summer, and skating and Olympics during the winter months.
