Chapman Lake, body of water
Chapman Lake is a reservoir in Warren County, Pennsylvania, located within Chapman State Park. The water body covers about 68 acres and is fed by the West Branch of Tionesta Creek, which flows through a natural bend to supply and drain the lake.
The lake is relatively recent in human history but has become a favorite destination for local families and visitors seeking outdoor recreation. Its natural setting has made it an established part of the region's recreational landscape over many years.
The lake is easily accessible from parking areas and offers picnic tables, pavilions, and a sandy beach for swimming from late May through mid-September. Basic facilities serve anglers, boaters, and other visitors, and downloading maps and information beforehand is recommended since cell phone service can be unpredictable.
In winter, the lake transforms into a hub for snow activities like ice fishing and ice skating on a lit rink. February's Winterfest draws visitors who want to enjoy snow sports and community celebrations in a season when most recreation areas quiet down.
