About New Providence Beach

New Providence Beach is one of four designated swimming beaches operated by the Treasure Lake Property Owners Association on Treasure Lake, a 379-acre private reservoir in the gated Treasure Lake community near DuBois, Pennsylvania. For residents and guests looking for a lake to swim in, this swimming hole offers a maintained sand shoreline for swimming and sunning, with lifeguards present as staffing allows.

New Providence Beach sits on the shore of Treasure Lake, a 379-acre man-made reservoir within the 9,000-acre gated Treasure Lake residential community in Sandy Township, Clearfield County. The lake is also used for motorboating, water skiing, tubing, fishing and kayaking, and has a marina with about 200 rental slips and four boat launches; New Providence is one of three sand beaches maintained on this main lake (a separate smaller beach exists at Bimini Lake, the community's no-wake reservoir).

Swimming at New Providence Beach

The beach is an association-maintained sand swim beach on the main Treasure Lake reservoir, paired with a sister beach called Trinidad on the same lake. It is staffed with lifeguards when the Association has coverage; when no lifeguard is on duty, swimming is explicitly at the swimmer's own risk, per the property owners association's posted rules.

How to get to this swimming hole

The beach is located at 15531 Treasure Lake Rd., DuBois, PA, within the private, gated Treasure Lake community off Treasure Lake Road; entry to the community and its beaches is restricted to property owners and their accompanied guests.

The walk in

No real hike here. The water is a short walk from where you park. New Providence Beach is a drive-to community beach inside the gated Treasure Lake development, not a hike-in swim spot; no trail is involved. Exact walk distance from car to sand is not stated in any source found.

Bringing kids

OK with supervision

Maintained sand beach designed for swimming and sunning, but the Property Owners Association's own materials state lifeguards are present only 'as staffing permits' and swimming is at the swimmer's own risk whenever no lifeguard is on duty, so supervision quality is not guaranteed day to day.

Hours

Beach hours: daily 11:00 AM-4:00 PM, weather permitting (per visittreasurelake.com/fun). The Treasure Lake Marina Store, which handles boat rentals for the lake, is open daily 9:00 AM-6:00 PM.
