Plum Orchard Lake is as young and fresh as a lake can get; it was man made in 1962! Head down to these 202 acres of refreshing, clear water for some row boating or fishing, or just spend the day relaxing by the 6.5 miles of shore line. You won’t feel too tall at Plum Orchard Lake, where Haystack mountain and Pack mountain rise up 900 feet in each direction, like massive green walls keeping you tucked inside this forested paradise. Hike through the hickory and chestnuts stands, or come back in Autumn when the forest glows red and yellow like a sunrise of foliage. Camp right near the shore, and you’ll have easy access to clean water when your face gets covered in sticky marshmallow. While you’re out there, why not go fishing? We hear the angling is best at night!
