Whipple Dam State Park, State park in Huntingdon County, United States.
The park encompasses 256 acres of natural land with a 22-acre lake, offering swimming, fishing, and hiking opportunities throughout the year.
The land was purchased from the Iroquois Confederation in 1754, later becoming the site of Monroe Iron Works for charcoal production and iron mining.
Environmental education programs at the park connect visitors with local natural resources through guided walks and hands-on activities from April to November.
Three large pavilions can be reserved up to eleven months in advance, while unreserved ones operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
The lake originated as a power source for a sawmill during the lumber era, constructed by Osgood M. Whipple who owned the land.
