Cummings Pond, Glacial lake in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States.
Cummings Pond is a glacial lake in Pennsylvania surrounded by forested hills that rise noticeably above the water surface. The body of water is bordered by a private campground that provides direct access for water activities and nature observation.
The lake formed roughly 27,000 years ago through glacial action during the last ice age. In the early 1900s, the ice was harvested commercially for use and storage.
The pond serves as a gathering place where locals fish, boat, and participate in outdoor activities throughout the year. These pastimes are woven into the rhythm of life for nearby communities.
Access to the lake is provided through the adjacent campground, which offers facilities for visitors interested in water-based activities. The site welcomes visitors throughout the year, depending on what you plan to do there.
Natural springs continuously feed the water system, maintaining a consistent water level throughout the seasons. These underground sources also create a stream that flows into a larger river system.
