Tionesta, PA is an extremely rural town located in northwestern, PA. It achieved tourism destination status when the Army Corps of Engineers installed a dam for the purposes of flood control. The resulting lake became a place people from the surrounding areas came to boat, fish and canoe. The Corps of Engineers campground, while rather nice, is a stark disconnect from the rest of the town. While basically very friendly, the town had a bit of a “dying” feel to it. There was only a couple restaurants and they were not exactly super high caliber. The town laundromat looked like something out of the (early) 80’s. The one grocery store had extremely limited food options.
The bottom line is come to Tionesta for a decent lake experience, but there is better out there. Much better.
