SUSQUEHANNOCK

Overview Susquehannock Campground is located on the 8,300-acre Raystown Lake, in the ridge and valley province of Pennsylvania. The lake offers ample outdoor recreation opportunities, from fishing and boating to picnicking and hiking. Campers have access to a marina, shopping, restaurants and cultural attractions within a short drive. Several fun family events take place in the lake area throughout the summer. Recreation Outdoor recreation opportunities abound at Raystown- enjoy camping, boating, mountain biking, hiking, hunting, fishing, swimming, disc golf, birdwatching, seasonal outdoor performances and educational programs, and more! Susquehannock is the preferred campground of many visiting mountain bikers due to it's proximity and easy access to the internationally-acclaimed, 36-mile Allegrippis Trail System . Those looking to build their skills can visit the mountain bike skills park near the Visitors Center in nearby Seven Points. For a more relaxed ride, check out the nearby Lower Trail —a scenic rail-trail that's a short 20 minute drive from Seven Points. Boating is a favorite activity at Raystown Lake, and with no boat horsepower limit, the water-based fun is nearly endless. Enjoy high-speed tubing, water skiing, and wakeboarding—or opt for more relaxed options like pontoon cruising, kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding. The expansive 28-mile lake offers space for both adventure and peaceful coves perfect for swimming or lounging. Snag a waterfront campsite to enjoy easy access to the shoreline (although the waterfront is shared by all campers, so feel free to use it even if you don't have a site near the water)! On land, the Greenside Pathway —a recycled rubber-tire trail—links campgrounds to all Seven Points facilities and offers campers a much safer path than the road to get around the park. Hikers can also explore the 25-mile Terrace Mountain Trail , 3.5-mile Old Loggers Trail , or the 1-mile Hillside Nature Trail . Nearby Trough Creek State Park features scenic trails with natural landmarks like Balanced Rock, Rainbow Falls, and the Ice Mine. Camping is one of the best ways to enjoy Raystown. The USACE-operated Seven Points Campground offers over 260 sites with convenient access to lake activities and trails. For a more primitive experience, try Susquehannock Campground and Nancy’s Boat-to-Shore Campground ( only accessible by boat ), which both feature well-maintained, waterfront campsites in addition to more secluded, shaded sites. Lake Raystown Resort is a full-service, privately-operated resort complex featuring campsites, cabins, yurts, a lodge and conference center, marina, waterpark, and restaurant . Each summer weekend, park rangers and environmental education interns host free educational and entertainment programs for all ages at the Seven Points amphitheater, public swim beaches, and campgrounds. New! Seven Points now features two highly-rated disc golf courses : the beginner-friendly Pine 9 and the more advanced Ravine 18 , offering scenic and fun play for all skill levels. Raystown is also a prime destination for hunting and fishing . Anglers can reel in striped bass, trout, walleye, crappie, and more from shore, boat, or below the dam.
