Location
Raystown Lake and Shy Beaver Boat Launch is 5 minutes away down the mountain! Bring your boat and trailer – our home has plenty of parking. Or rent a boat, wave runner, or kayak nearby. Raystown Lake is unique in that it is 28 miles of lake (8,300 acres) to to explore. It is surrounded by Federal Game Land, all preserved in its natural habitat. This means no homes on Raystown Lake have private access to the water. Our home is one of the unique few that can see Raystown Lake. To get to the lake, you go down the mountain to Shy Beaver Boat launch 5 minutes away. Often you can see the bald eagles in the tree tops looking for fish in the early morning or soaring on the thermals in the afternoon! The deer love to come for early morning lake drinks. We have seen otters and beavers play in the waters edge. There are two beach areas on the lake, two restaurants to dock the boat and get something to eat, or get gas for the boat right on the water. Also, many little private coves and areas to explore!
