Float on the Best Boating Lakes in America

03Lake Wallenpaupack, Pennsylvania

You’ll find this 5700-acre gem stretching 13 miles long and straddling the border of Pike and Wayne counties in the Pocono Mountains. Lake Wally, as some fans call it, is just 30 miles west of Scranton and has four boat launches available. The state stocks the lake with Striped Bass, Walleye, and Brown Trout, making this a prime locale for anglers. Wally Lake Fest is an annual end-of-the-summer celebration with boat shows, a floating live music stage, and lots of food, fun, and frolic on and off the water.
