The Springton Reservoir (also known as Springton Lake or the Geist Reservoir) is a reservoir that is located in Delaware County in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States.
Created in 1931[1] when Crum Creek was dammed near Pennsylvania Route 252, it is an approximately 391acres drinking-water reservoir maintained by Essential Utilities. It is located within Newtown Township, Marple Township, and Upper Providence Township.
Until the last two decades,[2] the reservoir was open to fishing via an entrance on Gradyville Road in Newtown Township. There is still a wide array of aquatic life in the reservoir, which includes largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, various pan fish, muskie, trout, and catfish. There is also a bald eagle that nests on the Upper Providence side of the reservoir.
The reservoir is patrolled by Aqua America security during day hours.
