No visit to the spectacular Raystown Lake Region would be complete without a stop at Ridenour and Hawn’s breathtaking overlooks of Raystown Lake, dubbed the “Crown Jewel of Pennsylvania.”
Take a break and stop for a delicious buffet lunch at Hoss’s Steak & Sea House in Huntingdon before an afternoon drive to Raystown Lake Visitor Center and Raystown Reflections Gift Shoppe. There you’ll find out more about the largest lake within Pennsylvania, with 118 miles of unspoiled shoreline spanning multiple counties. Raystown Lake still holds the record for the largest striped bass caught in the northeast - at over 50 lbs!

Time to relax and recharge! Head south along the lake to the gorgeous Lake Raystown Resort, an RVC Outdoor Destination, where you’ll check in and get settled until a memorable evening dinner cruise aboard the Proud Mary Showboat.
