FISHING

Upper Woods is under the Early Season Trout-Stocked Waters Program and has traditionally been stocked by the Commission (November-December) for winter fishing. Trout holdover year-round and both adult and fingerling phases are stocked annually in the lake. A handicapped fishing pier is located near the launch ramp. Other than the Early Season Trout-Stocked Waters Program, all species of fish are managed under Commonwealth Inland Waters regulations.

BOATING

Boating at Upper Woods Pond is limited to boats powered by electric motors and unpowered boats. There is a surfaced launch ramp and associated parking facilities.

Un-powered boats may be moored at the lake in accordance with Commission property regulations. To be used at the lake, boats must be registered or have a valid launch permit (permits are issued by the Commission or PA Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources).
