Locust Lake State Park, State park in Ryan Township, Pennsylvania, US.
Locust Lake State Park encompasses 1,772 acres of forested land with a 52-acre lake nestled against Locust Mountain in Schuylkill County.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania acquired the property from the Marchalonis Brothers in 1966, establishing the state park that opened in 1972.
The land belonged to the Lenape indigenous people before being conquered by Susquehannocks and later controlled by the Iroquois League of Five Nations.
Visitors can access 282 camping sites circling the lake, with modern amenities including flush toilets, showers, and a convenience store within the grounds.
The park maintains a year-round fishing program with regular stockings of brown trout, brook trout, pickerel, and bass in the mountain lake.
