Preachers Camp is a public boat launch providing access to Beltzville Lake, a 947-acre impoundment in Beltzville State Park near Forest Inn in Carbon County, PA. The ramp features a three-lane concrete launch, accessible courtesy dock, and wide gravel beaching area, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and larger recreational boats. The facility is ADA accessible and offers parking for vehicles and trailers.
The eastern portion of the lake near Preachers Camp and Pine Run Cove is designated as a "no wake" zone, making it ideal for kayakers and canoeists seeking calmer paddling conditions. Pine Run East Launch on the northern shore offers an alternative access point with similar facilities. The 3,600-acre project is operated and maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which also manages a visitor center on-site. This is a year-round access point suitable for flatwater paddling and recreational boating in the Appalachian Mountains region.
