Lake Wallenpaupack, Reservoir and lake in Pike and Wayne Counties, United States
Lake Wallenpaupack stretches across 5,700 acres in northeastern Pennsylvania, featuring 52 miles of shoreline and reaching depths of 60 feet.
The Pennsylvania Power and Light Corporation constructed Lake Wallenpaupack in 1926, employing 2,700 workers to build the dam and Tafton Dike.
The Lenape Native Americans gave the name Wallenpaupack to this area, which translates to The Stream of Swift and Slow Water.
Visitors access six recreation areas surrounding Lake Wallenpaupack, offering forest trails, camping sites, and boat launches throughout the seasons.
The lake generates 44 megawatts of hydroelectric power through a 13-foot-diameter pipe system that channels water to drive the turbines.
