Geography

Treasure Lake is located in the northwest corner of Clearfield County at 41°10′5″N 78°43′16″W / 41.16806°N 78.72111°W / 41.16806; -78.72111 (41.168088, -78.721111).[2] It is an unincorporated community within Sandy Township and is bordered to the north by Jefferson and Elk counties. The city of DuBois is 8 miles (13 km) by road south of the center of the community.

The Treasure Lake community is built around two reservoirs. In the center is Treasure Lake, a water body with three outlets: Wolf Run to the northwest, a tributary of Narrows Creek to the east, and Gravel Lick Run to the south. Bimini Lake, an impoundment on Gravel Lick Run, is in the southern part of the community.[3] All of the lakes' outflows eventually lead to Sandy Lick Creek, part of the Allegheny River basin.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 11.4 square miles (29.6 km2), of which 10.7 square miles (27.6 km2) is land and 0.77 square miles (2.0 km2), or 6.82%, is water.[1]
