In the western part of the Pocono Mountains between Lake Harmony and White Haven you will find Francis E. Walter Dam. This place is often missed by most people that visit the Poconos. Located off of Route 940 about 1 & 1/2 miles east of the Pa Turn pike exit. The Dam was built in 1961 for flood control on the Lehigh River.
Nowadays it is also one of the areas known for Fishing, Kayaking, Canoeing, Hunting and Hiking. Most of the Reservoir is surrounded by Pa State Game Lands. There are two Launch areas for Boats and Kayaks. Gas power boats are restricted to 10 Horse power motors. There are also picnic areas, A Disc Golf course and mutiple fields for Baseball and soccer.
Some of the areas best fishing can be found here at the reservoir which is fed by the Lehigh River and Bear Creek.
