Tionesta Lake & Dam

Managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tionesta Lake is famous for its rugged, undeveloped shoreline and dramatic "S-curves" carved through the bedrock. Unlike many lakes, Tionesta is characterized by vertical sandstone cliffs and steep forested hills that drop directly into the water. It is a premier destination for boat-in camping and is renowned for its high-quality fishing, particularly for muskellunge and smallmouth bass, offering a fjord-like atmosphere in the heart of Pennsylvania.
