Gouldsboro Lake

Goldsboro Lake is a 250-acre man-made lake and a favorite destination for boating, swimming, fishing, and ice fishing. Gouldsboro State Park is located very close to Tobyhanna State Park.

A fantastic lake for fishing. Anglers from around the country come not just to fish during the summer months but also to ice fish.

Gouldsboro Lake, is 8.6 feet at its deepest point, in the center of the main water body facing a dam. The lake, accessible with boat ramps, lies on 264 acres of land at an elevation of 1893 feet above sea level.

While gas-powered boats are prohibited on Gouldsboro Lake, electric-powered and non-powered boats with current registration are allowed.

This area is particularly famed for ice fishing, with nearby water bodies that freeze fast in winter, attracting ice anglers from all over the country. It lies between Wayne and Monroe counties off Route 507, and offers spring fishing and renewed bass, crappie, walleye, bluegill, and muskie stocks.

The beach at the lake is open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.

“This place is excellent for fishing and mushroom foraging. I love fishing and we found a few spots on the lake where we catch crappies and bass. This lake is really good for fishing in what is a very quiet State Park. It is like a hidden treasure as not too many people know about this park.”
