Scranton Canoe Club

Nestled on the crystal‑clear waters of Lake Winola in the Endless Mountains, Scranton Canoe Club has been a hidden gem of Northeastern Pennsylvania since 1908. The club’s 9‑hole executive course winds through narrow, tree‑lined fairways and fast, undulating greens that challenge golfers of every skill level while offering virtually unlimited tee times—no reservations required. The historic clubhouse, a classic white‑brick building, houses a full‑service restaurant that is BYOB, serving seasonal dishes, homemade desserts, and a robust bar menu. Diners can enjoy their meals on the deck, patio, or waterfront dock, each providing a 180‑degree panorama of the lake and surrounding peaks. Membership is limited, fostering a close‑knit community of golf enthusiasts, families, and social clubs that host leagues, youth clinics, and women’s events. The Pro Shop operates from 8 AM to 7 PM (April‑September) and 8 AM to 6 PM in October, offering equipment, apparel, and professional lessons. Weddings, corporate functions, and private parties are welcomed in the elegant south lawn and indoor banquet rooms, with catering options that showcase local flavors. The club’s convenient location off Route 307, just minutes from Scranton, makes it an ideal weekend escape for both locals and tourists seeking serene golf, fine dining, and historic charm.
