Lake Wallenpaupack, located in northeastern Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, is one of the state's premier fishing destinations. This man-made reservoir spans 5,700 acres across Pike and Wayne counties, with 52 miles of shoreline and depths reaching 60 feet. Created in 1926 when Wallenpaupack Creek was dammed, the lake stretches approximately 13 miles in length and 2 miles at its widest point. The reservoir serves as an auxiliary electric generating facility operated by Brookfield Renewable, but it's open to the public for fishing and other recreational activities year-round. Its diverse underwater terrain includes rocky points, weed-filled coves, submerged timber, and a distinct river channel that meanders through the lake, creating ideal habitat for a variety of sportfish.
