About Leaser Lake
Leaser Lake is number 91 on the LakePA 100: a 117-acre reservoir in Lehigh County, in our Southeast region. That acreage is the figure given by the Fish and Boat Commission's page for the lake. Gas motors are not allowed; you share the water only with electric-motor boats, so it counts as Quiet Water. (Boat rules as listed by the Fish and Boat Commission's page for the lake.) We list two put-ins, including Leaser Lake-(North Ramp) and Leaser Lake-(South Ramp). Leaser Lake-(North Ramp) has a paved ramp, a pier, a dock and parking listed as 10 spaces or more. At Fish and Boat Commission and state park launches your boat needs a Pennsylvania registration or a PFBC or State Parks launch permit. It is held back by a dam: stay well clear of the dam, the spillway and the outlet structures. It counts toward the Southeast region milestone. In a straight line, it is about 19 miles from Allentown to the nearest put-in. Check the weather, posted signs and the operator's latest notices before you launch.
Rules for paddlers
Pennsylvania's paddler rules (permits, life jackets, whistle and light) are on one dated page. Paddling rules →
Safety
Paddling has real risks. Wear your life jacket. Pennsylvania requires it to be worn on canoes, kayaks and paddleboards from Nov 1 through Apr 30, and by children 12 and under all year. Check the weather, posted signs and the operator's notices before you launch. Stay well away from dams, spillways and outlet structures. You paddle at your own risk.
