The Commission provides a number of interactive maps designed to help anglers and boaters. "Map" only begins to describe what these pages can do -- they virtually serve as a complete guide for their respective topics. The pages generally start with a statewide map and give you the ability to easily zoom into any area of interest in Pennsylvania to obtain more detail. The angling and boating information is derived from the PFBC Geographic Information System (GIS) and is combined with Google Maps, so all the functionality provided by Google is available (directions, street maps, aerial photography, etc.). Get started by choosing one of the links on this page.

| We also have a GIS application from 2005 that identifies waters
that contain particular species of fish. Pages also contain links to more information for the species selected.
Simply choose which fish/category (listed below) you would like to start with.
For warm/coolwater species, once within the GIS page, other species can be added to the base map by selecting the
check-boxes in right column. Be sure to select the "info" button in the left column to get detailed information
about waters. |

| Important Note to Anglers: Many waters in Pennsylvania are on private
property, the listing or mapping of waters by the Fish and Boat Commission does not guarantee public access. Always
