Beaver Lake

Built about 1962-63, Beaver Lake opened to the public in mid 1964, and supports a healthy population of trophy class largemouth bass -- up to 11 pounds! The lake made a reputation for itself in the early 80's as having one of the best ratios of fish caught per hours fishing time of any lake in the Commonwealth.

Fishing

Anglers who visit this lake can find redear and longear sunfish, largemouth black crappie, channel catfish, bluegill, and black bullhead. Use crickets, worms, or flies to readily take the bluegill.
