About Moosic

Tucked along the Lackawanna River right between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, Moosic is a friendly, quiet borough of about 6,000 residents. The community grew during the valley's early mining and rail boom, but today it offers a comfortable suburban setting with easy access to outdoor recreation. Local parks connect right to the river corridor, and nearby Montage Mountain brings skiing, outdoor concerts, and Triple-A baseball games at PNC Field just minutes from quiet residential streets.
