This is a list of lakes, reservoirs, ponds, and other inland bodies of water in the state of Pennsylvania in the United States. According to the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission[1], Pennsylvania contains over 450 naturally formed and artificial lakes used for recreation, flood control, municipal water supply, hydroelectric generation, conservation, mining reclamation, and wildlife habitat.
Most naturally formed lakes in Pennsylvania are concentrated in the glaciated northwestern and northeastern portions of the state, while many of the state's larger lakes are man-made reservoirs created during the 19th and 20th centuries.
