Love Your Lake 2024 at Blue Marsh Lake
July 19 @ 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm
The month of July has been designated as Lakes Appreciation Month in the state of Pennsylvania and across the country. Lakes provide valuable environmental and economic benefits, but perhaps more importantly, are a place people enjoy visiting to recreate in many different ways. Join the Blue Marsh Lake staff and partners to celebrate Blue Marsh Lake at the 4th annual Love Your Lake event with a fun-filled evening focused on how to keep yourself & our lakes safe and learn new ways to appreciate our lakes.
Love Your Lake 2024 will take place at the Dry Brooks Day Use Area on Friday, July 19th 2024, from 5:00PM to 10:00PM. The event will be broken up into two parts.

Additionally, visitors are asked to be aware that the No Wake Zone by the Dry Brooks Day Use Area and Swim Beach will be temporarily extended to encompass the right side of the Day Use Area due to the increased paddling activities throughout the event
