Fairview Lake, reservoir in Pike County, Pennsylvania, USA
Fairview Lake is a reservoir in Pennsylvania covering just under 200 acres with a natural ridge running through its middle that creates shallow sections. The shoreline is lined with trees and grass, and the calm water mirrors the sky overhead.
The lake formed as a natural body of water that has been part of the local landscape for generations and is managed by the Fairview Lake Association. The organization maintains its condition and helps preserve its story through community care and oversight.
The lake serves as a gathering place where the community comes together through sailing races and boating events that bring neighbors and friends face to face. These activities reflect a long-standing local tradition of outdoor recreation and connection to the water.
A small boat launch on the southwestern shore accommodates about 10 vehicles with trailers, providing straightforward access to the water for fishing and boating. The drive is simple, taking state roads north from I-84 that lead directly to the launch area.
A submerged ridge runs through the lake creating underwater structures that attract fish and divide shallow from deeper areas. This geological feature makes it a favored fishing destination and shapes the entire water body's behavior.
