Editors' picks across 8categories — the dock with the deepest channel, the winery with the view, the restaurant with the right wine list, the trail nobody's on at sunrise.
Old-time favorites and creative American fare overlooking Lake Raystown Resort's marina — the practical dine-in or takeout stop for anyone staying at the resort or docking nearby. Also handles reservations for the Proud Mary Showboat's dinner cruises.
Visit ↗Upscale contemporary dining on Penn Street in downtown Huntingdon — the area's fine-dining option for a night that isn't built around the lake view. Full cocktail program alongside the kitchen.
Visit ↗A downtown Huntingdon local favorite with a creative menu and an extensive craft beer list — options run both meat-forward and vegetarian, unusual for a small-town Penn Street spot. Casual enough for a weeknight, solid enough for a group.
Visit ↗Huntingdon's own brewery on Susquehanna Avenue — a straightforward taproom pour rather than a full kitchen operation, the local option before driving out to the lake proper.
Visit ↗The lake's central activity hub inside the Seven Points Recreation Area — a large concrete sun deck, a sandy swim area built for crowds, a playground, and a trampoline in the water. Day-use passes are required, sold at automated pay stations or the visitor center.
Visit ↗Pennsylvania's largest marina, renting dock slips and boats since 1976 — a full houseboat fleet with kitchens, baths, and air conditioning, plus pontoons and jet skis. The default full-service option for anyone who wants a boat without owning one.
Visit ↗Family-owned since 1984, with more than 600 seasonal slips, a fuel dock, pump-out service, and winter storage — the newer of the lake's two major marinas, with its own rental fleet and the Marina Cafe and Proud Mary Showboat both based here.
Visit ↗A show cave on William Penn Highway with two connected cavern systems — winding passageways, flowstone, and thousands of stalactites, open daily year-round. The rainy-day answer for the Huntingdon end of the lake, not on the water itself.
Visit ↗A diesel-powered paddlewheel replica running 90-minute sightseeing cruises out of Lake Raystown Resort's marina, plus dinner cruises (5:30–7pm, chef's-choice buffet, reservations required) and private charters. Book through the Marina Cafe.
