Friends of Raystown Lake

Happy ! While Raystown may not have coastal beaches, there are two public swimming beaches for you to enjoy today!

Seven Points Beach features a smaller sandy area, often called the "kiddie" beach, and a larger concrete section. Plenty of open, grassy hillsides surround the beach. Seven Points Beach is home to Lighthouse Concessions & Trampoline and Rothrock Outfitters' Rental Shack.

Tatman Run Beach is located adjacent to the Tatman Run Boat Launch. The sand-bottom beach is surrounded by a slightly terraced, open grass area.

Both beaches are home to a life jacket loaner station, in partnership with SeaTow! As a reminder, pets are not permitted on either beach. Service animals are welcome.

No matter how you celebrate , always swim with a buddy, wear your life jacket, and have fun!
