About Twin Lakes Campground
Twin Lakes was once the site of factory buildings, stores and row houses owned by the McKean Chemical Company which made wood alcohol. A company splash dam, used to augment water levels for the chemical plant downstream once occupied the site of today's dam. When McKean Chemical Company closed in the 1920s, the US Forest Service acquired the property. In 1936, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) constructed the present dam on Hoffman Run, creating the swimming impoundment. They built the lower campground, picnic area, pavilion and bathhouse. The ""twin"" impoundment was never built, as money planned for its construction was diverted to build Loleta Recreation Area near Marienville, PA. Twin Lakes has upper and lower camping loops. The day use area is situated around a 10-acre impoundment which is fed by Hoffman Run, a heavily stocked trout stream; no boating is permitted on the impounded lake. A hardened walking path surrounds the impoundment.
