Discover Lake Wilhelm RV rentals for memorable road trips
George Washington, the United States’ first president, passed through the area that would later become the town of Sandy Lake in a surveying project decades before the Revolutionary War reared its ugly head and observed that it was prone to flooding problems. Nearly two hundred years later, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers agreed and created a dam upriver in 1971. With the construction of the dam, Wilhelm Lake was born.

Getting Outdoors
The 2,800-acre lake is ringed by low hills that cup the water, sheltering it from brisk winds and foul weather. Tall oak, maple, and other hardwoods crowd the shore, contrasting the soft blue water with vibrant green leaves. The lake is a fisherman’s delight. The warm-water fishery hosts a wealth of fish: largemouth bass, walleye, crappie, muskellunge, bluegill, catfish, and a few other less-common species. They swim in the tea-stained water that reflects the sky, turning it a murky blue. In spite of being a shallow lake, boats are welcome on the surface. There are eight boat launches to choose from, a marina, and if need be, a handy fueling station. Pennsylvania’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resource also runs a boat-rental stand. Anyone wanting to explore the watery world may borrow a pontoon, rowboat, kayak, canoe, or an electric-powered boat.
Camping at Wilhelm Lake
Nearly every outdoor adventurers have the same fantasy: to wake up in the comforts of a rental camper surrounded by nature with birds functioning as alarm clocks. Though camping at Maurice K. Goddard State Park isn’t feasible, as it doesn’t have a campground, there are several other options in the area. Camp Wilhelm Campground, which is nestled in between the state park and Hadley, offers water and electric, a swimming pool, and an on-site camp store. The facility is family-friendly and has several planned activities during the summer months. It’s also open in winter, though amenities may be more spartan.
Exploring the Area
Explore the long, twisting roads of the Pennsylvania backwoods and wide-open valleys in a rental motorhome. As the countryside rolls by, keep an eye out for tiny quaint towns in which charming bistros, boutique clothing stores, and pubs are established. Pennsylvania is well-known for its historic covered bridges, a few of which are still standing. One, called Kidds Mill Covered Bridge, can be found in Transfer, PA. The state is also known for its historic automobile and train mountain tunnels. Rather than force travelers to take long, treacherous routes over mountain passes, they simply blasted tunnels into the heart of the mountains. The entrance to the Kennerdell Tunnel in Kennerdell, PA, is marked by a small-but-impressive waterfall.

My sister and my dog had a wonderful trip in the RV, I'm thinking about buying one and setting out on the road. This was the perfect way to try it out . John was a great host and was right there if I needed anything, he answered my questions promptly. The camper was spotless and very easy to drive. I just loved it!
