Charles Mill Lake — Attraction in Mifflin Township

This lake is not for everybody there is a speed restriction on all boat motors. For most boats, the largest horsepower you can have is 9.9. this was originally three small lakes that were Dam controlled in the 1930s. the Army Corps of Engineers basically came in, flooded the land and cut all the trees off at the top of the water. Because of this, you have to worry about stumps if you're boating close to the shore or in certain areas along with very shallow Waters. Mainly fishing and camping are the biggest attractors to this lake. it's a sleepy little Lake with a nice Campground and average Marina with beautiful views.

I really wish that the campground would have a pool. The lake is great for kayaking. We have been paddling it for 15 years and still love it. My biggest complaint would have to be the amounts of poison ivy there. We had to constantly be on the lookout with our kids. They have a odd apt for frisbee golf. Most of the targets are where if you are not a good shot, you will end up in poison ivy or the water with your disc. I think that have one or two group camping sites would have been a better use...
