Antietam Lake Park

We love it here! Its always clean and family friendly. We come here to fish. My son is still learning. A great place to become one with nature!!

Lovely park. Several walking trails, some along reservoir and cascading falls over dams. Beautiful scenery. A great way to spend an afternoon to de-stress. Only disappointment was Stone-Walled Creek section at Seidel Rd. trailhead was closed off, so no access to the paved walkways along the Antietam Creek.

A great local spot for hiking and fishing. The pond has several decent spots for casting a line and bringing your own chair to relax, or one could use the provided benches. As for the trails, I ran the Gravity Trail and it was in good shape. It was decently marked until you reach the Egelman Basin which is essentially an open park. Overall, would recommend as an evening hike spot but not a destination park.

Very nice place, lots of hiking/biking trails. Well maintained connected to Skyline Drive. We hiked from Lake to Fire Tower.

It’s a peaceful, peaceful, and great place to enjoy hiking and surrounded by water. The waterfall is also gorgeous, but walking on rock, can be a little tricky. A variety of creeks and streams can also be found here. Walking here can be quiet relaxation. The trails are nice and wide and only have mild uphill sections. There are many trail variations.

Beautiful little area off the trail

This is a great family hike area. The trails are nice and wide and only have mild uphill sections. Its Pennsylvania, so there are lots of trees and little creeks. There are many trail variations that provide miles of scenery. If youre looking for an easy hiking area for the young ones or yourself this is a great area. It is a mixed use trail so you will see bikes and horses.

It good but no trout only I caught is young bass two of some bite from snap turtle not bad has fun with grandkids

Easy hike very beautiful to look at.

Good park to take the kids and family to. Nice for fishing. No complaints

I always enjoy coming to the park and yesterday, Easter Sunday was no exception. I like to take pictures because the water is so scenic. There were a lot of people fishing along the lakeside. No swimming is allowed.

Always a quiet peaceful time there people hiking fishing biking and just stopping to use the facilities

If a place to get distracted with the family is your goal this maze is awesome it has so many in and outs is just gorgeous for a family walk.

This is a very beautiful and clean park with lots of trails and spectacular scenery. Wear comfortable sneakers and plan to take lots of pictures. Has some incline in areas which is great for the heart rate, very quiet and picturesque. Enjoy!

This place is gorgeous! Went for a walk up one of the trails for some relaxation. Beautiful along the water!

Good trails. Lovely surroundings

Come here often. My quiet relaxation and get away

Nice trail. Nice scenery. Plenty of routes to walk. My favorite trails to take Neo to

Awesome transformation example of how to build communities not burn them down

It is so peaceful and a great place to enjoy hiking and being by (or even in) water. I dont know that swimming in the lake is allowed, but there is a fun waterfall area for getting wet & walking on rocks.

Nice trails and plenty of scenery. Closest place to clear my mind

Nice place to play and hike, get some fresh air & let kids explore.

Great place to walk and enjoy some peacefulness.

First time walking these trails and found the orchard. So beautiful!

Beautiful and nice hike for pleasure or a serious workout. Parking lot is free and there are portable toilets.

Well maintained network of trails. Easy access from Lower Alsace. Great place to walk.

This is a great park for hiking and fishing at the lake. This park could be amazing if they labled all the trails (not just the main few) and added a safe way to get down to the view below the dam.

Great place for Trout fishing. The lake is pretty well kept and it has a generally safe feel. Would recommend visiting

Beautiful park with a lake, waterfall, and river

I love the new walkways around the lake

So well maintenanced, great paths for all sizes, serene views, awesome fishing areas!

Great park for a nice hike. I come here for the mountain biking though! Know as Mount Penn, its got some of the best single track in the area. Most trails are not for beginners. Lots of rocks and fun features. Not really easy to navigate but there is a map (contact BAMBA or see the BAMBA Parking Lot at the top of the mountain) and the trails are better marked all the time. Trailforks app is another resource.

Well-maintained mountain bike trails.

Very nice trails that seem very well maintained.

Great hike easy for all ages

Another one of my favorite places to fish. Recently however, they have also added many more walking and biking trails and its really a nice place to get outdoors. I highly recommend it.

Good place for a quiet walk with the dogs

Amazing views. Planning on a return trip to walk the trails.

Beautiful beautiful ! It’s my happy place ! The trails are easy to follow and lots of walkers and people there who just need to relax in nature ! And it’s kept clean too !

Really nice hiking trails but use the printed maps. They are more up to date than maps I’ve used from apps (AllTrails). Part of the trails are being rerouted to stimulate forrest growth.

Great place for a picnic and hike

This is a really good hiking park. The trials are very nice and there are a few to chose from. I really like how they have done some good parking changes here and made it a lot nicer to get to the lake and go around the lake. Great place close to the city to go and feel like your far away.

Was here last year for an orienteering class. Nice parking area and wide trails. Seating deck to chill and watch activity out over the (small) lake. Only criticism is the trails were not particularly well marked. Worked fine for orienteering with a compass, might be a little tougher for a casual hike.

If you live in the Mt. Penn area, then you probably passed by here many times in your travels. I go here to fish, hike, and take photographs. Its a beautiful place, and all I ask is that people visiting do their part and keep it clean. There are trashcans strategically placed throughout the park, so lets use them

Ok...trails....lots of snakes if your fishing the lake dont sit on a rock our youll be visited by a snake popping its head out from a rock or two....other then that its a nice place !

We like to take the dogs walking here, it is natural and pretty. Right now it is really overgrown but there are mowed paths to walk. The little lake is beautiful!

I enjoyed being at the antietam

Nice place to hang out with your loved ones and walk your animals

Absolutely gorgeous place. Plenty of space to go fishing and a lot of trails to walk. Park Rangers do regular Patrols and the place is absolutely clean.

Nice trails, easy. My dogs love it there.

Is a beautiful place to go fishing.

Very nice and quiet, perfect to do hike with family. There is a fountain near the lake which is absolutely mind blowing.

I go here Every week is Peaceful u can fish here no one bothers you ....love it

Beautiful place to go hiking, lots of trails and wildlife. I always enjoy this area and the waterfalls.

Awesome trails and fishing

I was hoping for a bike trail for my son, but its a beautiful place to discover.

Gorgeous location anytime of year!

Beautiful and peaceful park. Good for hiking, biking or a nice stroll.

Great place for morning hike.

I had no idea Antietam Lake Park existed a month ago! I found it while searching on Google for new places to walk my dog. I really like it here and am excited to explore more of the trails. The parking lot is nice and open and there is even a bathroom (though its been locked every time I go, I assume because it is winter). There is also a tool station for bicycles with an air pump and various tools for fixing bikes - I dont know exactly what because I dont know anything about bikes, but it seemed very well stocked. The lake is so nice to look at and there have been people ice fishing every time Ive gone. There are signs stating that the waters are stocked for fishing so I am excited to try that in the summer. There are lots of different spots to park at to go on different parts of the trail that I have yet to explore. The only downside is that the road to cross to get to the lake is windy and sometimes cars fly around the corners and its hard to see. Overall, its a really nice place to do some light hiking and bike, run, or fish.

I wish the waterfall wasnt blocked off to the public. The creek attached to it is so nice.... I took my son and a cop had us leave. Very nice about it I just wish it was allowed to be seen... Esp to enjoy for pictures (which I did take). Besides that the lake is great to walk around and yes you are allowed to do that. I never fished there but I imagine it gets packed.... Nice parking area though and not confusing.

The lake nice but the fishing is not so good to many fish eating birds on the lake

BEAUTIFUL n awesomazing views

Great place. I run it evetyday

A high-traffic road runs through the middle of the park. We went memorial day and the park was full of tattoos, un-leashed pitbulls and non-english speakers. Not really my scene.

The mudcatcher trailhead is horrible! Avoid this trail, specially after heavy rain.

Good park with lots of nice trails. Can walk from here all the way to the Pagoda. Trails are medium difficulty, not great for bikes. The lake is really pretty and has a beautiful waterfall!

Great place to relax and fish. Not alot of fish beimg caught though.

So peaceful an love nature walks

Its a very nice place to walk now thats it all redone over.good fishing and exploring new things.

My wife and I took our granddaughter there and Dori Hoch, author of the Bunny Brothers Lost in the Woods book did a hiking tour on a trail there with the help of the Park staff. The staff matched the hike perfectly to the story line, young and old enjoyed it.

Fishing and relaxing

Amazing View

I have been coming here all my life. The mountain bike trails are awesome, the area is clean, absolutely beautiful. Visit, you wont regret it.

It is wonderful that millions of dollars were put into restoration, but disheartening to see that maintenance of the park is non existent. The pictures are from a recent visit, and its sad that money isnt being spent to upkeep the changes made...that cost millions. Hopefully, they will take notice & make ongoing maintenance a priority before it turns into another restoration project!

Only learned about this area from signing up for an educational talk. Most certainly will make sure to come back to explore more of what this has to offer.

Havent done the whole park what I have seen and done their was fun. Will go back to c more of it. Lots of mountain bike trails from what I am told

Wonderful, dog friendly trails with several access points & parking lots!

Nice secluded area by the waterfall. I couple of park benches would make this perfect.

Mountain bike trails are great

Very nice trail, good for kids, beautiful scenery.

Beautiful

Beautiful. Enjoyed a day of fishing.

Nice place to relax and skip some stones

Beutiful, but no one around.

Great spot to fish, hike, ride bikes, etc.

Wide trails, clearly marked. Great for a quick hike.

Fishing got a little better this week. Wish the state would stock more often. They wont again now till fall I believe.

Nice trails but bring your bug spray

Beautiful place

Great biking

Beautiful I love this place

Much improved parking area since the renovation

Nice hiking trails

Nice Park, the main trails are marked well but the smaller trails are not and are only listed as connector trails

I love to be in the woods and enjoying nature!!

Cool place.

Terrific mountain trails for walking or biking.

Fished opening day of trout season caught my limit in an hour

Its close and its a beautiful spot for shorter hikes.
