Raystown Lake and Seven Points Marina is 10 minutes away down the mountain! Bring your boat and trailer! Our home has plenty of parking!! You can alternatively rent a boat, wave runner, or kayak. Raystown Lake is unique in that it is 28 miles of lake (8,300 acres) to to explore! It is surrounded by Federal Game Land, all preserved in its natural habitat. This means no homes on Raystown Lake have private access to the water. Our home is one of the unique few that you can take a 5 minute walk to get to one of the lake's inlets. A nice private space to hangout. Be sure to be on the lookout for the deer that love to come for early morning lake drinks. We have seen all kinds of wildlife at this home! There are two beach areas on the lake, two restaurants to dock the boat and get something to eat or get gas for the boat right on the water. Also, many little private coves and areas to explore!
