Ganoga Lake, Glacial lake in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania, US
Ganoga Lake spans across 78.8 acres at an elevation of 2,260 feet, reaching depths of 80 feet in southeastern Sullivan County.
The Ricketts family acquired the lake in the 1850s, renaming it from Robinson's Lake to Highland Lake in 1874 and finally to Ganoga Lake in 1881.
The name Ganoga originates from the Seneca language, translating to 'water on the mountain' and reflecting the Native American heritage of Pennsylvania.
The lake maintains regulations as a High Quality-Cold Water Fishery, supporting populations of bass, trout, and perch for recreational fishing activities.
The North Mountain House hotel near Ganoga Lake hosted one of the first summer schools in the United States during 1876 and 1877.
