Drone view of Frances Slocum Lake in Kingston
History
The park is named for Frances Slocum, who was taken captive by a group of Lenape on November 2, 1778, when she was just five years old. Her brothers found her 59 years later living on an Indian Reservation near Peru, Indiana. Despite the pleadings of her brothers, Frances refused to leave her family. Frances, now called «Mocanaquah» , lived for the rest of her life in Indiana.
Her name lives on in Indiana, where the Frances Slocum State Recreational Area and Lost Sister Trail are named in her honor. Her final resting place is marked with a monument along the banks of the Mississinewa River in Indiana. Frances Slocum Lake was built to help control flooding in the North Branch Susquehanna River basin in 1968. Frances Slocum State Park was built around the dam and lake.
Hunting and fishing
About 700 acres of Frances Slocum State Park are open to hunting. Frances Slocum Lake is a warm-water fishery. Gasoline-powered boats are prohibited at Frances Slocum State Park.
Camping and picnicking
There are 100 campsites at Frances Slocum State Park. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. The Park made some changes to its registration process in 2008 to accommodate a new camp store for campers. Previously, camper registration was performed at the Contact Station along the road to the campsites.
That building is no longer used, and camper registration is performed at the Main Office near the entrance to the Park. Frances Slocum State Park has several picnic areas. The picnic areas have tables, grills and charcoal disposal pits.
