How to reserve the Gazebo at the Children’s Lake:

This information was sent to us after quite a few inquiries to our website about use of the Gazebo.

“Use of the gazebo at Children’s Lake is administered by the National Park Service, but we can take care of the administrative logistics for you.

Basically, the process goes like this: we review the conditions of use, you apply for a special use permit which costs $50, we review the application and resolve any questions, and you get a special use permit. Feel free to give us a call.”

Many people have used the gazebo for their weddings, senior photos and other memorable moments. If you only plan to use the gazebo in passing, like your senior photos, there is no need to reserve the gazebo. However, if you want the private use of the gazebo for a ceremony or gathering –  please contact the ATC for use and permission.

CHILDREN’S LAKE TO BE DRAWN DOWN

Boiling Springs, PA – The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission will begin lowering the water level at Children’s Lake in Cumberland County on October 1. The water level will be drawn down 3 feet to allow a weir to be constructed in the old mill race. The mill race is located on the southwest end of the lake below the arched bridge. While the lake is lowered, additional grounds improvements will be completed.

Children’s Lake is a 6-acre Fish and Boat Commission impoundment located in historic Boiling Springs, Pa. Historic structures from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, such as a gristmill, still line the lakeshore. The Lake and its surrounding lands provide fishing, boating, hiking and other recreational opportunities to visitors and local residents.

The mission of the Fish and Boat Commission is to protect, conserve, and enhance the Commonwealth’s aquatic resources and provide fishing and boating opportunities. For more information about fishing and boating in Pennsylvania, please visit our website at http://www.fishandboat.com.

Welcome to the picturesque village of Boiling Springs.  Beautiful scenery, fly fishing, the oldest public pool in Cumberland County, quaint Bed & Breakfasts, plus theatre and local events.  Founded in 1845*, but settled prior to 1737, Boiling Springs is a village that surrounds the Children’s Lake, right on the Appalachian Trail.  The Memorial Clock Tower, erected in 1956 and the Boiling Springs (Grist) Mill, on record as early as 1785, are two landmarks in the village.  The mill is one of, if not the most photographed building in the village.

Boiling Springs was also a site for the underground railroad before the civil war, a tourist destination in the early 1900’s, a stop along the Appalachian Trail. Now a location for small shops, art galleries, cafe’s and restaurants, recreation and relaxation.  Boiling Springs is a fantastic community of individuals that are inspired to create that small town feel and share it with anyone who visits.

The village of Boiling Springs is located in South Middleton Township (township population 15,000 projected for 2010, I don’t have statistics for the village population).  The population of Cumberland County is approximately 215,000 (est 2000)

If you are around in the summertime, be sure to stop by the Boiling Springs Pool and say hello.  My name is Tom and I run this site and the pool for the community.

So tell me…

If I created a section on this website, where we would display articles about Boiling Springs – like things from days past, the best things to do in Boiling Springs, wishes, hopes or desires to fix or update the town… would you be interested in writing, reading, or discussing these things?

Let me know in the comments!  I personally think this would add a nice angle to this community site.

The weather in Boiling Springs is typical of other locations along the frost line.

Average high temp is in July at about 85 degrees.  The average low is about 23 degrees in January.

If you are looking for the current temp, we have that posted at the top right corner of this page.

The lake is always 52 degrees – so it never freezes.  Sorry, no ice skating there.  But, since it does not freeze, Santa can always row to the Gazebo.

More detailed current information can be found at Accuweather for Boiling Springs.

Are you trying to find out some information and haven’t had any luck?  Here are some suggestions:

1. Try using the search field (at the top, on the left), by entering a keyword or two.  This will give you a list of results that match your search.  Too many results?  Add another keyword.  No results?  Take away a keyword.
    
2. See that list of ‘Resources’ on the right?  Those are the categories where we are filing our articles.  For example…  Are you looking for the local pool?  Click on the ‘Swimming‘ resource and you will get a list of places/articles that were filed under swimming.  You will definitely find the Boiling Springs Pool in these result.
3. Of course the ‘Help’ tag at the top got you here, so we will assume that you know how they work.  However, in case not – simply click on each one and find results tailored to the tab you clicked.
4. Last but not least, you can contact me and I will see what I can do.  I will try to get back as soon as possible – so if this is urgent, you may not get a quick answer.  I am leaving the comments below open – and I will read and respond to the email address that you leave.  Post your question there (below…).  Once I answer the question, I will delete the comment.  If I think your comment may be one that many are interested in, I will post your question (removing identifying information) and the response in a new article.

I hope this helps!

There is no charge to list your organization or business on BoilingSprings.org, but you will have to do some work to write your article.  Your business name, address, phone and website are important, but simple detail like that is for the Yellow Page or simple web directories.  Earn your new customer and website link by telling them who you really are and what you offer.  Who knows your business better than you!

Before you start – here are the requirements:

1. Your business or organization must be physically located in Boiling Springs, PA.
2. You need to provide an interesting paragraph and at least one large photo for the listing.
3. Include not only what your business does or provides, but also some information on WHY you are in the business, or in the area.

Post your information (excluding the image(s)) in the comment section below and we will email you back with information clarification and image requests.

We look forward to meeting and promoting your business!  You can jump to the comment section below  to start the process.

Tips and Suggestions:

1. Content is King, still!  Search Engines like content.  They see directories all the time.  If your business is described here and on other sites, they will be indexed much better.
2. Search Engines are getting smarter too.  Instead of directing you to a ‘Yellow Pages’ type site, they now display that pertinent information on the search results page.  If there is no more informational value on the destination site – why would a searcher go on to learn more?  Give them a reason!
3. Although good “Content” articles should be around 1,500 words long, your business listing can’t support that here, the content should be at least 100 words more.  On a side note:  You should think about writing longer articles and posting them on your own site.
4. Crisp, clean images will catch a users eye.  Some images are posted alongside search results listings too.  Submit good images – or take the time to get good, new images (for anywhere you list!)
