Lake Wallenpaupack () is a reservoir in Northeastern Pennsylvania. After Raystown Lake, it is the second-largest lake contained entirely in Pennsylvania. It comprises 52 mi (84 km) of shoreline, with a length of 13 mi (21 km) and a maximum depth of 60 ft (18 m), and has a surface area in excess of 5,700 acres (2,300 ha). It was created in 1926 by the PPL Corporation for hydroelectric purposes, as well as flood control, but it is best known as one of several major recreational destinations in the Pocono Mountains. It is located near the Borough of Hawley, and forms part of the boundary between Pike and Wayne counties.
