Boating is a favorite activity at Raystown Lake, and with no boat horsepower limit, the water-based fun is nearly endless. Enjoy high-speed tubing, water skiing, and wakeboarding—or opt for more relaxed options like pontoon cruising, kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding. The expansive 28-mile lake offers space for both adventure and peaceful coves perfect for swimming or lounging. Snag a waterfront campsite to enjoy easy access to the shoreline (although the waterfront is shared by all campers, so feel free to use it even if you don't have a site near the water)!

On land, the Greenside Pathway —a recycled rubber-tire trail—links campgrounds to all Seven Points facilities and offers campers a much safer path than the road to get around the park. Hikers can also explore the 25-mile Terrace Mountain Trail , 3.5-mile Old Loggers Trail , or the 1-mile Hillside Nature Trail . Nearby Trough Creek State Park features scenic trails with natural landmarks like Balanced Rock, Rainbow Falls, and the Ice Mine.

Mountain bikers will love the internationally-acclaimed, 36-mile Allegrippis Trail System , and those looking to build their skills can visit the mountain bike skills park near the Visitors Center. For a more relaxed ride, check out the nearby Lower Trail —a scenic rail-trail that's a short 20 minute drive from Seven Points.
