Pocono Pines is located at (41.114976, -75.460408). According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 11.4 km sq (4.4 square miles). 10.3 km sq (4.0 mi sq) of it is land and 1.1 km sq (0.4 mi sq) of it (9.95%) is water. Pocono Pines is located in the heart of the Pocono Mountains and is home to the communities of Lake Naomi and Pinecrest Lake. Most of the land was originally owned by the Miller family. Frank C. Miller, his brother Rufus W. Miller, and others, bought lands on Tunkhannock Creek (Tobyhanna Creek tributary) in Tobyhanna Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania, organized a corporation known as the Pocono Spring Water Ice Company sometime in the 1890's. In September 1895, a 14-foot dam was constructed across the creek and water began backing-up forming "Lake Naomi," a lake more than a mile long and about one-third of a mile wide. The Ice Company was granted a 99-year lease for the "the exclusive use of the water and its privileges." It was chartered for the purpose of "erecting a dam, for pleasure, boating, skating, fishing and the cutting, storing and selling of ice." In 1902, visitors came from many of the surrounding metropolitan areas including New York and Philadelphia. In the same year the first bathing beach was created and some lots on the north side of the lake were subdivided and sold to summer cottagers. A sailing camp for girls was set-up on the northwest side of the lake. A Lutheran retreat, Lutherland, was erected on the southern side of the lake. The Millers and others utilized southern and eastern sides of the lake for swimming, sailing, skating, fishing. In 1921 a boathouse and beach were constructed on the site of today's Lake Naomi Clubhouse. In 1938, a famous Pennsylvania Supreme Court case took place over who owned the water rights to Lake Naomi, as the surrounding lands were soon owned by many different parties. See ''Miller v. Lutheran Conference & Camp Ass'n'', 331 Pa. 241 (Pa. 1938). In 1963 the Logan Steele family purchased 2,600 acres surrounding the lake which eventually was turned into a resort community called the Lake Naomi Club. Logan Steel died in the 1980's and the club is now owned by its members and run by a board of governors. Lake Naomi Club today includes 1400 families who own property surrounding Lake Naomi. Lake Naomi itself is a 277 acre lake with private beaches and marinas. The Club has a very active sailing organization, 3 pools including a 50-meter outdoor Olympic-sized pool with a breathtaking view of the lake, 18 tennis courts, and full service clubhouse. Across the street is Pinecrest Lake, another resort community. At some point Naomi Pines was renamed Pocono Pines. The main thoroughfare through the current Village of Pocono Pines is Route 940 on which you'll find one traffic light with one gas station and a few surrounding businesses.
