Stillwater Lake is a reservoir that covers approximately 315 acres (1.27 km2). The lake is located in Pocono Summit, Pennsylvania at an elevation of 1,811 feet (552 m). Feed by Dotter's Run, Hawkeye Run, Pocono Summit Creek, and several underground springs, the lake flows out to Lake Naomi via Tunkhannock Creek. The lake is a central part of the Tunkhannock Creek Watershed, part of the Upper Susquehanna River Basin, which eventually drains into the Chesapeake Bay.

The lake is currently home to Stillwater Estates.

In 2002, Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) reclassified the dam on Stillwater Lake as a B2 High Hazard Dam. Funding was approved in the 2006 Pennsylvania State R-CAP Budget to repair the dam, however the legislators have yet to release the already approved funds for the project. If the prescribed repairs are not implemented by 2009, the DEP will move to breach the dam and drain the lake. The Scouts are currently petitioning the legislators to release the $3,000,000.00 of approved funding in order to repair the dam and essentially save their camp, as well as the watershed and neighboring communities.
