Whipple Dam State Park

Petersburg, Pennsylvania

Welcome to the beautiful Whipple Dam State Park located near Petersburg, Pennsylvania. For many years before it became a state park the land in this region was harvested for it's timber and iron resources. The park was first established in 1927.

Boating: Whipple Lake is only 22 acres in size and thus has a ban on gasoline powered watercraft. However when the winds are nice it is actually a great place for sailing.

Wildlife: Some of the wild residents of Whipple Dam State Park include white-tailed deer, black bears, blue herons, osprey, and wild turkey. Please treat their home with respect when visiting.

To contact the office please call 814-667-1800.
