Most of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ state parks feature a lake. All of them have hiking trails. Many hold the potential for combining the two.
While a few state parks have individual trails that entirely encircle their lakes, many have trail and road systems that can be combined into a lake-circling route.
Maps of all these state parks showing the roads and trails can be found through DCNR’s Find A Park webpage:
