Lake Wallenpaupack
Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including nurse sharks - Lake Wallenpaupack offers some of New England's richest wall diving. Water ranges 4-19°C, warmest July, August, September.
Lake Wallenpaupack offers a refreshing change from ocean diving, with freshwater conditions and a surprisingly varied underwater landscape. We've found submerged trees and rock formations, along with some intriguing man-made features like old foundations. Visibility can swing a bit, but on a good day, it’s a peaceful spot for divers looking to explore something different and practice their buoyancy without strong currents. It’s a good choice for newer divers or those who just want a relaxed dip.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 15°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
