Overview
Beltzville Lake is a roughly 949-acre reservoir on Pohopoco Creek in Carbon County, in the southern foothills of Pennsylvania's Poconos near Lehighton. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Philadelphia District completed the dam about 1971–72 for flood risk management, water supply, and recreation, operating it with Francis E. Walter Dam to reduce flooding on the Lehigh River. Though compact by Corps standards, the project is a primary water and recreation resource for the western Poconos and the Allentown–Bethlehem corridor.
