Good vacation lakes in Eastern, PA or Southern NY-state?

[squale]

My family is looking to buy a vacation home in Eastern, PA. We live in North-Western NJ and didn't want to drive more than like 1.5 hours for a weekend getaway. We definately need to be either on or right near a nice big lake with good power-boating and fishing. We just got a 25' sport boat last year so we want to have some place to use it.<br /><br />Can anybody recommend some very nice areas and lakes in Eastern, PA, or lower NY State for a vacation home?

Try lake wallenpaupack. Nice place for a family vacation home. Plenty of awesome fishin right in the lake and tons of good spots within minutes of the lake. <br /><br />Here is a link to a website that is chock full of anglers from eastern Pa. . I fish with some of these guys and they are in the know when it comes to eastern Pa. Lakes.<br /><br /> http://www.just4thought.com/SMF/index.php

Not the biggest but right up there when it comes to size,52 miles of shoreline. Your boat would do fine there. I guess raystown would be a giant lake also but it is not on the eastern part of the state. Biggest lake?? Lake Erie of course.
