Welcome to View from the Dock, for anyone who owns a lake house here, wants to, or is just trying to make sense of life around Lake Wallenpaupack, Lake Ariel, Pocono Lake, and the rest of the Northern Poconos.
The posts are sorted into several categories. Buying and Selling cover the practical side of real estate and other things of interest to buyers and sellers. Owning is the homeowner toolkit, sharing the parts of lake life nobody warns you about. Living is the good stuff around town, from the Hawley farmers market to the trails at Promised Land and beyond. Knowing is the market numbers told straight, not just another “it’s a great time to buy or sell” marketing piece.
