High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ganoga Lake is a natural lake in Colley Township in southeast Sullivan County in Pennsylvania, United States. Known as Robinson's Lake and Long Pond for most of the 19th century, the lake was purchased by the Ricketts family in 1851 and became part of R. Bruce Ricketts' extensive holdings in the area after the American Civil War. The lake is one of the highest in Pennsylvania, which led Ricketts to rename it Ganoga Lake in 1881, after Pennsylvania senator Charles R. Buckalew suggested the name from the Seneca language word for "water on the mountain". The Ricketts built a stone house on the lake shore by 1852; this served as a hunting lodge and tavern. In 1873 a large wooden addition was built and operated as a hotel until 1903. The hotel had one of the first summer schools in the United States in 1876 and 1877. A branch railroad line to the lake served the hotel and also hauled ice cut from the lake for refrigeration.
