About Scranton

Scranton is a small, quiet community in South Carolina's Pee Dee region, nestled along US 52 between Coward and Lake City. Situated about twenty miles south of Florence, the town is surrounded by open farmland, country roads, and plenty of breathing room. It offers a relaxed rural atmosphere where life moves at a comfortable pace, while the shops, restaurants, and services in neighboring Lake City are only a few minutes down the road.

For recreation, residents have plenty of ways to enjoy the outdoors close to home. Weatherford Park is a popular gathering spot for youth sports and evening strolls, and paddlers can head out with Riverrats Canoe and Kayak Rentals to explore the scenic Lynches River. A standout local favorite is McKenzie Farms, well known across the region for its nursery and fresh seasonal produce. Between the river, the parks, and the peaceful backroads, Scranton makes for a simple, welcoming place to call home.
