How to Use This Penn Lake Park, Pennsylvania Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Penn Lake Park, Pennsylvania. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Pennsylvania or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Penn Lake Park.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Penn Lake Park occupies a quiet, inland stretch of terrain where the landscape is defined by the steady, unassuming presence of the water that gives the locality its name. It lies 6.6 miles southeast of Mountain Top, PA (from Mountain Top, PA: bearing 126°T), and is situated 9.2 miles northeast of Freeland. Wright Creek winds its way through the vicinity, its currents tracing a path through the dense, earthy ground that eventually rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Pocono Mountains on the horizon. The air here holds a distinct, cool clarity, sharpened by the proximity of the Delaware-Lehigh State Experimental Forest, which casts long, cooling shadows across the vegetation during the late afternoon. Within the borders of Penn Lake Park, the light at dusk settles in a soft, muted gold, illuminating the reeds and the dark, reflective surface of Penn Lake until the sky deepens into a bruised violet.

Traces of the region’s industrial history linger in the quietude, a subtle echo of the anthracite heritage that once shaped the broader economy of this northeastern landscape. While the bustle of larger extraction centers has long since faded, the area retains a character built on the resilience of those who settled near the water and the nearby Lime Hollow basin. Residents often seek the solitude of the Great Falls of the Lehigh or the path of the Choke Creek Trail, finding a rhythm in the seasonal shifts that dictate the pace of life. Penn Lake Boro Park serves as a focal point for the inhabitants, offering a space where the local focus remains on the preservation of the woods and the water rather than the rapid expansion found elsewhere in the state.
