Welcome to Pennsylvania's Raystown Lake Region
Every so often, your travel takes you somewhere that reignites your soul, reminding you that life is beautiful, that nature heals, and that moments together are priceless. Welcome to the Raystown Lake Region of Pennsylvania! Here, you'll breathe fresh, pine-infused air, stroll through breathtaking forest scenery, and enjoy 118 miles of unspoiled lake shoreline. Bring your boots, kayak, fishing pole and mountain bike to "activate" your time in Huntingdon County -- or just relax by the fire and gaze at the stars. There's no shortage of spots to recharge.
