Lakemont Park
Lakemont Park is a theme park in Logan Township, Pennsylvania, featuring rides and an attached waterpark called Island Waterpark for summer activities. The park has ten pavilions for group gatherings, four batting cages, grassy areas for relaxation, and various attractions suitable for different ages.
The park was founded in 1894 and is one of the oldest amusement parks still operating in the country. Its most famous attraction, the Leap the Dips roller coaster, opened in 1902 and stands as the oldest ride of its kind still in operation, reflecting its significant place in amusement park history.
The park's name references its lakeside location, which remains a central part of the visitor experience today. Families gather on the grass for picnics and celebrations, showing how the place serves as a social meeting point within the local community.
The park is active during the warmer months and visitors should check opening hours beforehand, as some rides may vary seasonally. With parking available nearby and its location in Blair County, driving is convenient, and local bus services are also available for those preferring public transportation.
The park hosts a popular winter lights display called Lights on the Lake that draws visitors during the colder months. This seasonal event offers a completely different experience and shows that the place has appeal throughout the year.
