Re: Lake Wallenpaupack
The public launch on the North end of the lake fills up very early. Throughout the summer there are many fishing tournaments that launch from there early AM. Therefore, remaining parking space is usually marginal at best. Also the 4 lane ramp often gets a bottleneck as novice boaters find many innovative ways to load and unload their boats. If you don't mind camping, you might want to check out the Ironwood campground which will afford you the ability to launch your boat and take the trailer back up to your campsite.<br /><br />As far as being a nightmare, that depends on your expectations. Yes, there are indeed lots of people and lots of boats. If you like tying up with other boats to share the persuit of fun and hapiness then you may find enjoyment of the higher activity level. However, if you want to spend a day to reflect on the beauty of the outdoors, a weekend on the PAK will probably be very disappointing. There are sections of the lake that receive more traffic than others so familiarizing yourself with the lake can help you prepare how to use it that best meets your personal lifestyle preferences.
