Duman Lake County Park is the only county-owned recreation park in Cambria County. The park grounds consist of 71 beautiful acres of wooded and open space. There are picnic pavilions, campsites, modern restrooms, horseshoe courts, volleyball courts, a basketball court, ball field area, an exercise trail, and swings sets. The park adjoins the 19 acre long Duman Lake which is owned by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. The lake has a handicap fishing pier for accessibility needs and is regularly stocked with trout. During the weekends from May 15th through September 15th, a miniature train and hayrides are offered for the public’s enjoyment.
