On June 20, 2001 the Schuylkill County Board of Commissioners entered into an Agreement of Sale with the Borough of Pine Grove to acquire the Sweet Arrow Lake property for use as a public recreational area. This 183.47-acre site is comprised of roughly 60 acres of water and 123.47 acres land.

The Sweet Arrow Lake property is located in Washington and Pine Grove Townships, Schuylkill County. Major access routes include Sweet Arrow Lake Road along the northern border of the lake and State Route 443 which provides access to the southern portion of the site via Clubhouse Road.

The park is presently under development but is open to the public to enjoy the natural beauty, hiking, fishing and boating that people have enjoyed for generations.

Grants have been used to improve the driveway to and parking area of the Clubhouse. A playground, additional picnic pavilions, better fishing access and north side parking is now available.  A picnic pavilion and gazebo are available for free use at the Waterfall Parking lot.  A hiking trail that nearly encircles the entire park is partially constructed.
