However, if you understand that stumps and boggy banks in these tannin-stained waters hold plenty of largemouths, this is the place to go.
Promised Land State Park has two lakes, Upper and Lower. Upper Lake is the larger of the two, covering 422 acres. Lower Lake, west of Route 390, is the smaller of the two.
Connected by a canal, the two lakes are not alike. The upper end of Lower Lake has some deeper water off the boat ramp and boggy shoreline in the thoroughfare between the bay and main lake. The main section of Lower Lake is where you’ll find most of the stumps that hold bass.
Lower Lake has at least five bays or coves, with cool streams entering the back areas. There are two boat-launching ramps. One is on Bear Wallow Road and the other is at the top of the lake off Lower Lake Road. Only electric motors are allowed.
The park is on Route 390 east of Lake Wallenpaupack below I-84.
