Beltzville State Park

Enjoy a day out at Beltzville State Park.

Beltzville State Park is located in Carbon County. The park is along Pohopoco Creek with recreation areas around Beltzville Lake. The lake is 949 acres with a shoreline of 19.8 miles. Fishing in Beltzville Lake is a popular sport. The lake is also ideal for boating. At the suggestion of local residents, the original covered bridge, built across Pohopoco Creek during 1841 by local craftsman Jacob Buck, has been relocated between the picnic areas and the beach for public use and enjoyment. This bridge was first used by horse and buggy traffic and later by one-lane car traffic. It is now for pedestrian use only.
