My husband and I are always on the lookout for new places to kayak and decided to give Lake Redmond a try. The following are the pros and cons:

PROS: For being located in a fairly populated area, the lake doesn't have the volume of people that you'd find at other parks. It was really a pleasure! In fact, we went on a Saturday and you would have thought it was a midweek day. There's a nice boat ramp that places you at about the halfway point on the lake. We went further down the road and put in there, where fishermen use. Due to the size of the lake, the county could have really developed the shorelines, but was very wise to limit it to keeping it natural. Consequently, the park isn't "loved to death" like some of the state parks, which are over run with folks on the weekends. It also allows nature to shine its beautiful face. In the span of two hours, we saw a bald eagle, a great blue and little blue herons, egrets, a bunch of turtles and an osprey-not to mention the fish jumping out of the water to catch the water bugs. Though they allow electric motors, we didn't see one such boat during our visit. Folks seem to prefer their pleasure or fishing kayaks instead. Because the lake is sheltered by hillsides on the edges, you don't get the winds that you find on some other lakes. Very calm waters! Finally, the lake is quite large. We only covered half of it during our two hour visit. We'll be back to visit the other half soon!

CONS: I wish the expressway didn't run along some of the lake. It make it noisier than we would have liked-not to mention seeing the cars as well.

This is really a gem of a park! There are hiking trails as well. There's also its sister lake-Lake Williams, which is a bit smaller and perhaps a bit more quiet? We'll be trying that out as well.

Beautiful lake, had a great hike all the way around Redman and Williams. A couple of tunnels under I-83 were very wet but otherwise a nice walk with good water views. I-83 is pretty loud and runs right thru the park.

If you have an hour or three, don't miss this treasure of York Co. the Trails will take you around Lake Redman and Lake Williams, part of the Tork Co reservoir system. You can choose from a shorter, more challenging hike through up a hill and through the switchbacks in the woods or a flatter, longer hike around Lake Williams. Fishing, paddle boats, wildlife abound!

Nice place to hike or play in the water. We heard there is a waterfall but couldn't find it. Also it is free

Lake Redman has so much to offer. From picnicking along the banks or in one of their pavilions to hiking their numerous trails or fishing the lake in your kayak or small boat. I've spent many hours in the park and have caught many largemouth bass from my kayak.

The lake gets a fair amount of use but it's always clean and never seems too busy.

Lake Redman is a beautiful and clean lake in York, PA. It offers very reasonably priced boat rentals by the hour and by the day. Electric motors only as this is our drinking water. Great fishing and as always, lots of friendly folks.

Take the kayak and paddle all around or sit on the side and cast your reel. Love to take a picnic lunch and enjoy the sunshine. Fabulous activity for the family or just a couple.

Boating, hiking, picnicking are all wonderful in this quiet natural setting; find spot off the beaten path or choose one of the established areas for your family celebration. Boats are available for rent.

Went for a quick family picnic by the lake had a great time if you have a canoe bring one for the ride out into the lake. Don't get caught swimming though.
