LAKE WALLENPAUPACK—Located in the center of the
Commonwealth's finest eastern resort centers, the lake was built by
the Pa. Power & Light Co in 1925 for storage purposes. It lies on
the borderline of Pike and Wayne Counties.
PP & L, in line with its policy of keeping in mind the recreational
interests of the public, has since 1959 established and maintains four
lake-shore camp sites each with its own launching areas, parking,
sanitary and laundry facilities.
Three such camp sites are located off Rt. 507, in Pike County.
They include Ledgedale, at the extreme south end of the lake, built
in 1959; Wilsonville, at the northeast end, in 1960; and Ironwood
Point, northeast of Ledgedale, in 1960. The fourth area, in Wayne
County off Rt. 590, is the Caffrey Park which was started in 1961.
In addition to the PP & L sites, also located along the 53 miles
of shore line, much of it wooded, are such commercial public launching
areas as:
Lake Harbor (B-P-GO-S-C); White Beauty View (S-B-P-GO-C);
Pep's (B-P-GO-C); Lake Wallenpaupack Yacht Club, members only;
