Lake Louise, lake in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States
Lake Louise is a small reservoir in Franklin Township, Pennsylvania. The water is held back by a dam built in 1927 that stands about 16 feet tall, creating a body of water covering roughly 67 acres.
The lake was created by building a dam in 1927 to store water for the surrounding area. The township was established more than 150 years ago when early settlers arrived to farm and build homes near local water sources.
The name Lake Louise honors a historical figure from the area. The water and surrounding forests have been part of residents' lives for generations, with stories and traditions passed down through families.
The lake is easy to reach via roads leading close to the shore, with no large commercial facilities nearby to navigate. Visit for fishing, boating in warmer months, shoreline walks, or simply to relax by the water.
The dam was rated as unsafe during heavy flooding in 1980, yet local community groups continue working to improve and maintain the structure. These ongoing efforts show how residents actively protect the lake and keep the area safe despite this challenge.
