Perfectly private, with the exception of a few wildlife visitors, your ceremony is all yours!

THE LAKE – Nestled along the shores of our mile-long spring-fed lake as your backdrop, Boat Row is the ideal ceremony setting for those who dream of a lakeside wedding. Showcasing our charming docks, natural lush surroundings and shimmering water with reflections of big Pocono, this idyllic landscape provides a stunning panorama for those who want to say “I do” at water’s edge.

Comfortably appointed with leather chairs, ample lounging space, and more than enough room – just perfect to relax and get ready.

First Reveal and More

Your photographer is welcome on property all day. Whatever portraits you have planned, be confident that Mountain Springs Lake has the perfect backdrop for all your photo memories. A “First Reveal” before the ceremony is a perfect way to enjoy every moment of your reception!

Experience the magic of your wedding day – our professional wedding team is on hand to prepare for your event from the beginning of your day until you depart as newlyweds.

History of Mountain Springs Lake Over 85 years ago a twelve year old boy named Jack and his friend were hiking to the top of Big Pocono. On their way, they discovered a jewel of a lake in one of the most spectacular mountain settings in Northeastern Pennsylvania. That jewel would become Mountain Springs Lake Resort.

Charming cottages and winding country roads now grace the 325 woodland acres and pristine shores of the mile long spring-fed lake. The standard of quality established over 70 years ago by Jack and Marjorie Rader continues today as their children and grandchildren join them in preserving a proud family tradition.

– The Jack Rader Family PS...Jack’s friend grew up and became a minister, married Jack and Marjorie – they’re still living “happily ever after”.
