Penn Lake: Small-Town Charm on a Peaceful Pocono Lake
Published October 8, 2025
Nestled in White Haven, PA, Penn Lake is a tiny, scenic borough that covers just 1.6 square miles — about 5% of which is water. At the heart of it all lies beautiful Penn Lake, a 51-acre natural lake shaped by the gentle flow of Wright Creek, which both feeds and drains the waterway.
Though small, Penn Lake offers a genuine sense of peace and community — the kind of quiet lakefront living that defines Pocono charm.
Fishing at Penn Lake includes:
- 🎣 Large & Smallmouth Bass – Catch and release only
- 🎣 Pickerel – Follow Pennsylvania’s season openers and daily limits
- 🎣 Catfish – 2 per day, at least 12 inches long
- 🎣 Panfish (Perch, Sunfish, Calico Bass, Bluegill) – 15 combined per day, 6 inches or longer
Penn Lake may be small, but its natural beauty and friendly, neighborly feel make it one of the Poconos’ best-kept secrets — the perfect place for those who want quiet mornings, clean air, and life by the water.
