Review & FAQ:
Despite being only 53 acres in size, Oxford Furnace Lake is a peaceful man-made lake ideal for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. It's located only an hour away from both New York City and Philadelphia, making it an easy day trip for anyone staying in either city. The lake is an excellent fishing destination year round; the water is home to everything from perch to catfish to bluegill, and ice fishing is popular in the winter when big bass are plentiful. There are no established trails around the lake, but many visitors enjoy simply strolling through the woods.
