Lake Wallenpaupack has a unique history. It is the largest man-made lake in Pennsylvania (13.5 miles long with 52 miles of shoreline) and was completed in 1926. Prior to that, the vast lake was merely a small stream that the Leni-Lanape Indians had named 'Wallenpaupack.' This name means 'the stream of swift and slow water.' The Lake Wallenpaupack area offers many activities on the water and off. Close to interstate, restaurants, boat rentals, hiking trails, swimming, fishing, golf, & more. Ledgedale Recreation area, with public boat launch is right next door.
