Pymatuning State Park
Pymatuning is one of the largest state parks in the Commonwealth. Pymatuning Lake is especially lovely in late spring evenings when the sunset gilds the water and colorful sailboats appear to slide across a lake of gold.
Please Note:
Divers must contact the park office before diving to be notified of certification requirements, park diving areas and park-specific diving information.
