Curwensville Lake is a man-made lake located just to the south of the town of Curwensville, Pennsylvania. The lake was made due to several floods occurring along the West Branch Susquehanna River. On September 3, 1954 a Flood Control Act was passed due to the flooding along the West Branch river basin. The dam cost $20,400,000 to construct.
