About Sandy Lake
Sandy Lake sits in Sandy Lake Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, alongside the borough of Sandy Lake that took its name and was incorporated in 1849. It's a small lake on Sandy Creek in the gently rolling farmland of northwestern Pennsylvania, fished more by neighbors than by visitors from out of the county. A few miles south, the same creek was dammed on a much larger scale to form Lake Wilhelm at Maurice K. Goddard State Park, the area's big-water destination; Sandy Lake itself has stayed the smaller, older water the town grew up around.
