Lake Manjo (also known as Manjo Lake) is a manmade lake in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It has a surface area of approximately 9 acres (3.6 ha) and is situated in Franklin Township.[1] The surficial geology near the lake consists of bedrock and Wisconsinan Till. The lake is not accessible to the public. However, a camp known as Camp Orchard Hill is located near the lake.
The main outflow of Lake Manjo as an unnamed stream that joins Sutton Creek at Lake Louise.[1] The elevation near the lake is 1,220 feet (370 m) above sea level.[2]

Lake Manjo is entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Center Moreland.[2] It is also located near the community of Center Moreland.[5]
The surficial geology immediately to the north of Lake Manjo mainly features bedrock consisting of sandstone and shale. To the south and west, however, the surficial geology consists of a till known as Wisconsinan Till. A small patch of Wisconsinan Ice-Contact Stratified Drift also occurs a short distance to the west of the lake.[6]
