Seven Points Recreation Area, in the central region of Raystown Lake, is perfectly situated for outdoor recreation. Within a short walk from every campsite, visitors can find hiking and biking trails, a visitor center, group picnic shelters, a public swim beach and boat launch, and a privately-operated marina. Boating is a favorite activity at Raystown Lake, and with no boat horsepower limit the water-based fun is nearly endless: high-speed tubing, water skiing and wakeboarding, or more relaxed pontoon cruising, kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding. The expansive 28-mile lake offers space for both adventure and peaceful coves perfect for swimming or lounging. Waterfront campsites give easy access to the shoreline, though the waterfront is shared by all campers, so feel free to use it even if you don't have a site near the water. Raystown is also a prime destination for hunting and fishing — anglers can reel in striped bass, trout, walleye, crappie and more from shore, boat, or below the dam, and public lands around the lake are open for seasonal hunting of deer, turkey and small game in line with PA Game Commission regulations. 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, the 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, the nearby Lower Trail is a scenic rail-trail a short 20-minute drive away. Seven Points also features two disc golf courses: the beginner-friendly Pine 9 and the more advanced Ravine 18. Each summer weekend, park rangers and environmental education interns host free educational and entertainment programs for all ages at the amphitheater, public swim beaches and campgrounds. Six camping loops offer over 260 campsites that accommodate tents, RVs and trailers. Most loops feature waterborne restrooms and hot showers, and water hydrants throughout the loops allow refilling portable tanks — there are no direct hose hookups at campsites. A dump station within the Seven Points area handles RV water tank fill-up and waste disposal. Each campsite includes a picnic table, fire grill and lantern hanger, and nearly all offer electric hookups. Sites are generously spaced for a more private outdoor experience, and several loops feature playgrounds. The Raystown Lake Visitor Center in Seven Points has a visitors guide to local businesses and attractions plus a gift shop. The Seven Points Marina can refuel boats and offers a casual meal, the Oarhouse store, and boat, pontoon and houseboat rentals. Just a mile up the road, the Seven Points Bait & Grocery carries groceries, toiletries, snacks, bait, tackle and gasoline. The town of Huntingdon, 11 miles north, offers restaurants, cafés, shops and grocery stores, with a historic downtown and seasonal community events, live music and farmers markets. Also nearby are Lincoln Caverns and Whisper Rocks, with guided tours through underground passageways, gemstone panning and educational programs; the Swigart Antique Automobile Museum; and, as a day trip, the Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum and the Horseshoe Curve National Historic Landmark.
