Curwensville Lake, body of water
Curwensville Lake is a reservoir in Pennsylvania covering about 790 acres of water, surrounded by forest and featuring a sandy beach for visitors. The lake was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers through a dam and provides space for boating, fishing, and water activities of all kinds.
The lake was built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and has served flood control and water storage purposes for the community for many years. The project has become an established recreation destination that continues to be operated and maintained by the county.
The lake serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors spend time with family and friends throughout the year. The facilities around the water reflect how people in the region enjoy outdoor recreation together, from picnics to group celebrations.
The lake is easily reached from I-80 at Exit 120 and offers parking plus multiple camping spots with electrical hookups for RVs and tents. Visitors should note that children and people in small boats must wear life jackets, and all motorboats need to be registered.
The area is home to a family of Bald Eagles that can often be seen soaring above the water and catching fish from the surface. These birds make the lake a special destination for bird watchers interested in observing these large raptors in their natural habitat.
