Lake Wynonah

There are two private, deep water lakes within Lake Wynonah which are regularly stocked and hold several species of fish including bass, trout, pike and walleye.

• LAKE WYNONAH - This lake is two and one-half miles long, is up to 90 feet deep and covers approximately 175 acres. Both motor powered and non-powered watercraft are permitted. Water skiing and other water sports are allowed, but since there are no designated swimming areas approved for public use, there are no lifeguards present at any time. There are two no fee boat launching sites; one at B-Dock and the other at the Marina. Several boat docking sites are available to rent on a yearly basis. Picnic facilities and in some areas playground equipment are located at each dock area. Additional access to Lake Wynonah is along the dam breast. A gas pump is located at the marina, where gas for boats can be purchased only while an attendant is on duty. The marina is open Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays only between Memorial Day and Labor Day weather permitting. Hours are set on a yearly basis. Check the flag--if it is up the attendant is on duty.
• FAWN LAKE - Fawn Lake is also known as the "little lake". It is 3/4 of a mile long, up to 45 feet deep and covers approximately 27 acres. Only non-motor powered or electric motor powered watercraft are permitted. Again, as in Lake Wynonah, since there are no designated swimming areas approved for public use, there are no lifeguards present at any time. There is one no fee boat launch site on Fawn Lake located at A-Dock. This dock area also has a pavilion, picnic tables, horseshoes and playground equipment. This area is available on a first come, first serve basis (the pavilion may be rented). Other areas for public access at Fawn Lake include lot 481, Sarsi Cove and the dam breast.
   

In addition to ordinances which are mandated by the two respective townships, Lake Wynonah is governed by its Deed Restrictions, By-Laws, Rules & Covenants and PA Act 180 which are upheld by a nine member Board of Directors. The members of the board are elected by the paid-up members of the Lake Wynonah Property Owners' Association (LWPOA), who have a direct say in the community's future.

A full-time security force provides services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All incoming traffic is monitored and surveillance rounds are continually made throughout the community on a random basis. The security office is located at the main gate (west entrance) of the community and can be reached by phone at (570) 739-4158. Should you be on vacation or be away for an extended period of time, contact the security office prior to your departure and you will be placed on a list of "special attention" areas; as security officers conduct their surveillance rounds, they will provide closer attention for anything suspicious at these properties.

The Community Manager supervises a full-time staff in the business office of the LWPOA, where all records are maintained, including those for accounting, membership, and permits. This is the place to come if you have any questions or concerns, if you need any forms or applications or if you want to pay any outstanding bills. Office hours are listed in the "What's New" newsletter and the "Lake Wynonah Journal". The LWPOA Office may be contacted by phone (570)739-4055, by fax (570)739-2419 or email at wynonah@losch.net. The mailing address of the LWPOA Office is 406 Navajo Drive, Auburn, PA 17922.

Fishing is permitted from all public access areas along both lakes and of course, from boats. All fishing rules and regulations and licensing requirements of the Pennsylvania Fish Commission and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania apply, even if fishing from private property.

There are two picnic pavilions that may be rented by members for private parties. One is located at A-Dock. There is a modest fee for renting a pavilion + security deposit which is returned if the area is left clean and undamaged. The fee benefits the Fish Committee. The second pavilion is located at the Grove (near the lodge).

The Grove is the picnic/recreation area located at the Lodge. The facilities include shuffleboard, two basketball courts, two horseshoe pits, volleyball and many items of playground equipment. This area may be used by members on a first come, first serve basis.

The Lodge is a popular gathering place for members and their guests. It offers lounge and restaurant areas with a natural stone fireplace and dance floor. The bar area has a big screen television, dart board and jukebox. Upstairs are pool tables and ping pong. Many activities are held here including dances, parties, bingo, meetings, craft and bake sales, pool tournaments, art classes and clubs. Watch for information on the community entrance boards as well as this web site. The Lodge is available to members for rent for private parties if not in use for association activities. Contact the LWPOA Office for information.

There is a swimming pool and childrens wading pool located behind the Lodge for membership use.
