About

Lambs Creek Recreation Area is a day-use facility managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, situated at the southern end of Tioga Lake in Pennsylvania's scenic Endless Mountains region. The recreation area sits along the Allegheny Plateau in the Appalachian Mountains, surrounded by rolling terrain and open fields. The facility offers one fully accessible group shelter in a wooded setting that comfortably accommodates up to 100 people, available for reservation through Recreation.gov. A 3.2-mile paved rail trail extends south from the recreation area into the borough of Mansfield, open for hiking, biking, and rollerblading. The on-site boat ramp provides access to the 498-acre Tioga Lake, popular for water skiing, fishing, and paddling. Easily accessible from US Route 15, Lambs Creek Recreation Area serves as a convenient location for day trips and group gatherings, though overnight camping is not permitted. The area is part of the larger Tioga-Hammond Lakes recreation complex operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
