The small, 3.5-acre lake at the confluence of Sassafras Run and Standing Stone Creek is not stocked, but there are native brook trout. The stream below the dam is stocked with trout in the spring. The lake resides within Penn Roosevelt State Park. This 41-acre park is in an isolated area of the Seven Mountains region known as the Stone Creek Kettle. While this Centre County park is small in size, it is surrounded by an 80,000-acre block of Rothrock State Forest. Penn-Roosevelt is a good base for those seeking low-density recreation on this vast expanse of public land.
