Surrounded by the northeastern mountainous region of Pennsylvania, Harveys Lake is a part of the borough of Harveys Lake.

Harvey's Lake is a source of water for Harveys Creek and has a stone masonry dam. While a man named Benjamin Harvey accidentally discovered the lake in 1781, it saw a number of settlers move into the area in the following years. Thereafter, it became a popular resort area and also served the purpose of water supply to neighboring towns. Today Harveys Lake is a well-known recreational destination with fishing, swimming, and boating being most popular on the lake. Camping at Harveys Lake provides visitors with a much-needed escape from daily life.
