Outing on Lake Wallenpaupack May 30, 2021 Lake Wallenpaupack is a reservoir in northeastern Pennsylvania. , It is the second largest lake contained entirely in Pennsylvania. It measures 52 miles of shoreline, 13 miles in length, 60 feet deep at points, and has a surface area in excess of 5,700 acres. BRIEF HISTORY This lake provides excellent conditions for our class of wooden boats offering ample run- ning space with picturesque scenery along the 13 miles in length. In order to create the lake, PP&L constructed a dam on Wallenpaupack Creek at Wilsonville and a levee named the Tafton Dike. The project took 2,700 men from 1924 to 1926 to complete and seven months for the reservoir to fill after the dam was closed off. Water travels 3.5 miles in a 13-foot diame- ter steel pipe (originally wood) to power two turbines which combined can generate 44 megawatts of power discharging into the Lakawaxen River, which flows into the Delaware River. ACTIVITIES Free boat launch facility for trailered boats is located at Mangan Cove, located off of State Route 590. The lake's wooded shoreline provides opportunities for hiking and viewing wild- life, including whitetail deer and black bear. Lake fish include smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, rock bass, bluegill, walleye, muskellunge, northern pike, pickerel, rainbow trout to name a few. DIRECTIONS Launch time is at 10:00AM from Megan Cove Boat Ramp 41°27’35” N 75°11’23.4”W follow I-84 E to PA-390 N in Tafton. Take Exit 26 off I-84E.
