Happy Valley is one of Pennsylvania’s best trout fishing destinations with more than 216 miles of trout fishing waters. But trout’s not all that’s available to catch in the areas waterways: perch, catfish, and bass are also abundant. Whether you fly fish or cast a line from the shore, there are plenty of places to drop a line. Boaters will find many options from small creeks to large lakes suitable for canoes and kayaks, or sailboats and powerboats for fishing and water skiing. Quiet lakes that are limited to paddlers or electric motors make perfect places to explore by canoe, kayak, or stand-up paddleboards, and can be found in every direction.
