For some, the big city is a paradise that simply can’t be beat. And, for others, paradise is something more tranquil, reflective, and maybe a throwback to a simpler time when everyone knew everyone else’s name. This unique Pennsylvania village boasts the slogan “The Last Unspoiled Resort” for good reason. Take a look.
A simple wooden sign, brightened with cheerful flowers in the summer and festive holiday decorations in the winter, gives few clues to the experience that awaits in this village frozen in time.
Home to less than 120 full-time residents, Eagles Mere has certainly earned the title of the "Last Unspoiled Resort," evident in the landscape - from the quaint footbridge to the beautiful gazebo - that most certainly will inspire your inner artist.
Please note: The lake, beach, and trails are available for use by Eagles Mere Association members and guests only.
