Spread across 3,000 acres, the park boasts two scenic lakes: Promised Land Lake and Lower Lake. The park offers educational programs throughout the year, fostering environmental awareness and appreciation for the park's natural treasures.

Lake Wallenpaupack is a reservoir built in 1926 for hydroelectric purposes and flood control. It is the second-largest lake contained entirely within Pennsylvania, following Raystown Lake. The shoreline spans 52 miles, the maximum depth of the lake is 60 feet, and the size is over 5,700 acres.

Decker Pond spans 48 square acres and is a fishing spot. If you hear gunfire, don't be startled, there is a shooting range across the road to the east.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission created Shohola Marsh Reservoir, a 1,137-acre manmade lake, in 1967 to help the waterfowl population in the area. Today, fishermen come to the reservoir for bluegill, largemouth bass, yellow perch, pumpkinseed, and largemouth bass. The lake, long, narrow, and shallow, has three designated boat launches, and cyclists can enjoy biking along the lake on a paved road.

Lake Greeley sits in the Pocono Mountains region of Pike County and spans about 80 acres. Encircled by woods, visitors can enjoy fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, biking, and kayaking. Bass, trout, sunfish, and catfish live in these waters.
