LAKE & DOCK INFORMATION
Lake Wallenpaupack’s water levels naturally change throughout the year.
The dock is generally available from mid-May through mid-September, weather and lake conditions permitting. Because the lake freezes during the colder months, docks are removed seasonally.
Exact installation and removal dates may vary each year. Guests booking during April, May, or September who plan to bring a boat should confirm dock availability prior to their stay.
The shoreline near the dock provides access for swimming, paddling, and fishing. Rocks near the water can become slippery depending on weather conditions, so please use caution.
