HARVEYS LAKE, Pa. — According to the Department of Environmental Protect, the spill at Harveys Lake happened around 4 Saturday afternoon.
A paddleboarder noticed the spill and called it in.
Officials believe the spill came from a boat.
The marina was closed, and swimmers were asked to leave the water for about two hours.
"We pulled in, we noticed all the fuel, but we didn't think anything about it," said Richard Mapes of Bloomsburg. "We didn't realize how bad it was. We were more hungry."
The investigation has been handed over to the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.
Officials say the spill was contained to the marina and did not reach the lake here in Luzerne County.
