PPL’s Wallenpaupack Environmental Learning Center, adjacent to the dam on Route 6 in Hawley, Pa., is operated in connection with the Wallenpaupack hydroelectric plant. In 1926, PPL completed construction of the Wallenpaupack dam and power plant, located along the Lackawaxen River. In addition to its capacity to generate 44 megawatts of electricity, the 5,700-acre man-made lake plays a critical role in regional water management and is a popular location for year-round outdoor recreation. Camping, hiking, fishing, boating and water-skiing are just some of the attractions.
