Hopefully, you have already read the article in the Lake Naomi Club newsletter, “Reflections,” that explains ho the Wildlands Conservancy, the Monroe County Open Space Program, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylv nia have created a plan to protect the 1,242 acre Camp Minsi from future development or commercializ tion. Camp Minsi is the Boy Scouts of America property immediately to the east of Lake Naomi that resid along Stillwater Lake. The exact method the property will be protected is not significant. What is significan however, is the fact that all that land will never be developed in competition to Lake Naomi~Timber Trails.

Home to more than 30 golf courses some designed by legendary golf architects, including Terry LaGree and Donald Ross; the Pocono Mountains are blessed with a long golf season, spectacular natural beauty and are less than a two-hour drive from New York City and Philadelphia making the decision to return about as easy as your choice to visit.
