A visit to Locust Lake is always a good idea. This lake is so wonderful. Glide down the rapids of Nescopeck Creek in a kayak, and going for a hike on the Sand Spring Trail is always a great adventure. That right there is a heap already, but it continues; Locust Lake has it all. Camping at Christmas Pines Camp Ground is always a perfect experience; you'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Blue Marsh while you're here. This lake is so wonderful. Montfort
