Duman Lake County Park is the only county-owned recreation park in Cambria County. The park grounds consist of 71 acres of wooded and open space. There are picnic pavilions, campsites, modern restrooms, horseshoe courts, volleyball courts, a basketball court, ball field area, an exercise trail and swings sets. The park adjoins 19 acre Duman Lake which is owned by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. The lake has a handicap fishing pier and is regularly stocked with trout. During the weekends from May 15th through September 15th, a miniature train and hay rides are offered for the public’s enjoyment.
When you enter the gates at Duman Lake County Park, be ready to spend an old-fashioned fun filled day! In addition to the fishing, train and hayrides, special events are organized throughout the summer.
Although the park is “officially” open from May 15th to September 15th, patrons are welcome to come and use the park during daylight hours year round as a safe place to walk, jog, ski, or just to get away to a quiet natural setting.
Reservations are accepted by mail, phone or in person. Pavilions are reserved by submitting a completed pavilion reservation application along with the appropriate fee. We suggest that you call the County Operations Office at: (814) 472-8390 to check on pavilion availability before submitting an application.
Beautiful park and well maintained. Even got some geese that will follow you around
Duman Lake is a beautiful Park full of many fun things to do for people of all ages. It’s a well kept park, with a lake, a few camping spots, a small train that actually runs passengers around a small track, hayrides with a tractor, a new, very nice path/ trail to explore on, lots of pavilions for picnics, fishing, and many many bathrooms!!!
I’ve lived here for >20 years and this was my first visit. It’s only 10 mins from my house and I’m sad I’m just discovering this little gem now. The pavilions are very well taken care of. They have a playground for kids. There is an open field with a pavilion near the lake. I’m told they have 6 campsites that have electricity. They also have a kids train during the summer.
This was my first time here,, I just moved to PA last August.. So learning different places to fish is a must.. this is a nice clean and safe place to go boating and fishing.
This is definitely a cute little place for to bring the family. However you do need to reserve the pavilions ahead of time, unless you are lucky enough to get the first very nice one coming into the park. ( We were:)) The ghost town trail is located inside as well. ( Great for a bike ride)I will say that the lake is perfect for first time canoeing and kayaking.
