About Pocono Laurel
Lake
Pocono Laurel Lake, located between East Stroudsburg and Bushkill, is a wooded and lake-centered Penn Estates neighborhood with private roads and a gated-community feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Pocono Laurel Lake beach and clubhouse area, where docks, picnic tables, and a steady loop of walkers set the pace. Homes lean toward contemporary Poconos chalets and newer colonials tucked into tall pines. For local staples, ShawneeCraft Brewing Company, the Sherman Theater, and the Pocono Indian Museum anchor nearby culture beyond the gates. Days revolve around lake time, trail walks, and short drives to the Delaware Water Gap. The setting reads quiet and outdoors-forward, with seasonal color and dark-sky nights.
