“Lake Superior is one of the nicest swimming lakes in the Delaware Valley region; especially if you have small children who love the warm lake waters and the sandy beach! An added benefit with this lake is that you can take your small boat on the water and enjoy a nice swim followed up with a BBQ on shore using the provided park tables! The scenery is beautiful and the lake is beautiful; just bring your family and good vibes!”
