Loyalhanna Lake

WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA

Loyalhanna Lake, located in the rolling foothills of the Laurel Highlands, is known for its excellent fishing--crappie, bullhead, catfish, bluegills, largemouth bass, trout, and carp. Anglers have the opportunity also fish for large musky or tiger musky, land a walleye in the outflow and land an occasional tiger trout from the headwaters. The lake averages a 10-foot depth and can reach almost 50 feet in some areas.

Fishing is good in the area where Serviceberry Run flows into the lake and near the outflow area below the dam. The Bush Recreation Area on the Lake has camping as well as ramps for canoes.
