The Southern Lake Area is the only place where you can stay in a cabin on the lake shore!

Your Southern Lake Area Raycation can include activities on the water, land, and even in the air!

Containing 16 of Raystown Lake's 32 miles of navigable channel, two beaches, a marina and six boat launches, the Southern Lake Area is a fantastic place for freshwater fishing, water-skiing, swimming, kayaking, and lots of other great water activities. There are even water slides!

Trough Creek State Park is truly a gem for hikers and horseback riders. Hike to Balanced Rock for a scenic overlook that should not be missed.

If you choose to fly to the Raystown Lake Region, the Altoona-Blair County Airport is the closest commuter strip. You can also book a spectacular helicopter tour of The Alleghenies from the Southern Lake Area.

Saxton is a quaint little town where you can pick-up anything you forgot to bring with you, or stop in for a great meal.
