About Prompton

Prompton is a small, quiet borough tucked into the rolling hills of Wayne County along the Lackawaxen River. Life here largely revolves around the outdoors and Prompton Lake, a scenic reservoir framed by wooded hillsides, open pastures, and a handful of rural homes. It offers a peaceful country setting just a short drive west of Honesdale, giving residents plenty of space and privacy while keeping everyday shopping, dining, and schools within easy reach.
