Lacawac is a historic estate located in Paupack Township and Salem Township, Wayne County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1903, as a summer estate of Congressman William Connell (1827-1909). Six of the eight buildings remain. They are the main house, barn, spring house, pump house, Coachman's Cabin, and ice house. The buildings are in a rustic style. The main house is a 2 ¹⁄₂-story frame dwelling with a cross gable roof. It features two-story porches and the interior is paneled in southern yellow pine.

In 1966, the property was deeded to a non-profit organization and subsequently used as a nature preserve, ecological field research station and public environmental education facility.^[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.^[1] Lake Lacawac was listed as a National Natural Landmark in 1968.
