Lambs Creek Recreation Area

About

Lambs Creek Recreation Area sits at the southern end of Tioga Lake in Pennsylvania's Endless Mountains region, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as part of the Tioga-Hammond Lakes project. The facility is designed for day use rather than overnight camping, offering a scenic wooded setting along the Allegheny Plateau. The centerpiece is a fully accessible group shelter that comfortably accommodates up to 100 people, available for reservation through Recreation.gov. A boat ramp provides direct access to Tioga Lake's 498 acres, popular for water skiing, fishing, and paddling. A 3.2-mile paved rail trail connects the recreation area to the borough of Mansfield, open for hiking, biking, and rollerblading. For overnight camping in the Tioga-Hammond Lakes area, visitors should look to Ives Run Recreation Area or other nearby USACE campgrounds. Lambs Creek is strictly a day-use facility with the reservable shelter and boat launch.
