Long Pine Run Reservoir, Adams County, Pennsylvania

Glenn Smith:
Long Pine Run Reservoir is a great place for kayaking. Its 150 acres can be circumnavigated in about an hour and a half, without straining. The boat launch area has parking for about 20 cars. The day we were there, only about three or four boats shared the water, making it almost like having your own private lake.
