When viewed from the lake or the day use area, Locust Mountain seems to drop right into the southern side of Tuscarora Lake. The scenic picnic area plays host to many day trips and family reunions and the lake is a popular fishing spot. The 1,618-acre park is home to the Park Office and Visitor Center for Tuscarora and Locust Lake state parks. Visitors are welcome to gather information about the parks, the environmental education program and local attractions. Located two miles west of Tamaqua off of PA Route 309, south of Barnesville, which is on PA Route 54 between the Hometown Exit (37E) of I-81 and PA Route 309.
