CARBON & MONROE COUNTY · ALBRIGHTSVILLE, PA
Indian Mountain Lake Civic Association — IMLCA — is a private gated community nestled in the Pocono Mountains near Albrightsville, Pennsylvania. The community occupies approximately 4,600 acres across four townships: Penn Forest and Polk Townships in Carbon County, and Tunkhannock and Chestnuthill Townships in Monroe County. Its location gives residents quick access to the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Interstate 80, and puts historic Jim Thorpe, Bushkill Falls, Hickory Run State Park, and Pocono Raceway all within easy reach.
The IMLCA is a professionally managed full-service association. Annual dues cover 24-hour security patrol, gated entrances, and full use of community amenities. Golf carts are permitted on private roads within the community — a practical and popular feature across the development. Five lakes distributed across the property give residents multiple options for fishing, paddling, and lake recreation throughout the warmer months.
✓ STR Permitted — Township Verification Required
STR is permitted in the Penn Forest Township (Carbon County) and Tunkhannock Township (Monroe County) sections of Indian Mountain Lakes. The Chestnuthill Township section does not allow STR in residential zones, and Polk Township rules should be verified directly. Because the community spans four townships across two counties, the STR eligibility of any property depends entirely on its specific township location. Each rental must be registered with the IMLCA office. Buyers must confirm which township any target property falls within before purchasing for investment use.
