Cowans Gap Lake is a scenic 42-43 acre lake located in Cowans Gap State Park in Fulton County's Appalachian Mountains. This public boat launch provides access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the lake and its connection to South Branch Little Aughwick Creek. The ramp is conveniently situated in Knobsville and is one of two public launches available on the lake.
The lake offers ample recreational opportunities with multiple mooring spaces available for boaters. Paddlers can expect a relatively small, manageable water body ideal for day trips and leisurely outings. The park setting provides scenic views characteristic of the region. Amenities within the state park include seasonal beach access, food and boat rental concessions, as well as camping and cabin overnight accommodations, though these operate on specific seasonal schedules.
