Page Lake (also known as Page's Pond, Corse's Pond and Lake Page[1]) is a lake located in New Milford Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is approximately 1.6 km long with an average center depth of 7.62 m.[2]

Page Lake was created by settler Leonard Corse, who built dams in 1820 and 1830. The dam was again rebuilt after a collapse and flood in 1855. The dam feeds into Salt Lick Creek, a tributary of the Susquehanna River.

Page Lake has been privately owned by the Lakeside Outing Club Inc. since 1922, and is operated as a "residential and vacation community."[1][3]
