This short out-and-back walk is a great way to explore Lake Nessmuk without having to do much walking. During the warmer months, especially spring and summer, this is a popular spot for local fisher-folk to try their hand at fishing the lake. During the winter, if the temperature has been low enough, you'll even find people ice fishing atop Lake Nessmuk. Despite the short length, this dam is a beautiful spot to take-in the views of the water. As a local, I'd driven by countless times in the past, but finally decided to take a walk here during Thanksgiving Day 2024 after a ~3-inch snowfall. The snow covering the trees in the hill, along with the glassy water made for a scenic place to enjoy what Lake Nessmuk has to offer. No matter what season you choose to explore Lake Nessmuk's dam, you'll find excellent views of Wellsboro's largest body of water (despite being human-made).
