Gordon Lake

Gordon Lake is a 141-acre recreational lake located in scenic Bedford County, Pennsylvania, offering a public boat launch for paddlers and boaters. The ramp is conveniently located at the southwestern end of the lake, with a large grassy parking area adjacent to the launch. This site is an ideal starting point for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the lake and its connected waterways including Evitts Creek and Oster Run.

The area is part of the "Kayak Pennsylvania" initiative, which promotes recreational paddling in south central Pennsylvania. Sit-on-top kayak rentals are available for those without their own equipment. The Gordon Lake access point offers a family-friendly paddling experience in the Appalachian Mountains setting. For those planning an extended stay, the Evitts Creek Hiker-Biker Campsite is located within 10 miles of the access point, providing camping options for paddlers.
