Unpack. Unwind. You're at home here. Welcome to the lake!
Before it was 'The Poconos', Lake Wallenpaupack was... well... not a lake at all. It was a big ol' valley with rolling farmlands, forests, and the Wallenpaupack Creek meandering through it. But then, in the Roaring 20's, the power company came up with a big idea: "Let's make a massive lake!" Why? To generate hydroelectric power - and as a side effect, create one of the largest man-made lakes in Pennsylvania. So, in 1926, they built a dam, flooded 17 miles of the valley, and Lake Wallenpaupack was born!
Today, Lake Wallenpaupack and the surrounding region feels like a permanent vacation. Nestled in the heart of the Poconos, it's the perfect blend of natural beauty and small-town charm. Residents and visitors enjoy endless activities, plus a lively mix of artisan shops, farm-to-table dining, craft breweries and community events.
