| Located south of Erie in Edinboro, this 245 acre lake can be a great afternoon getaway and offers a variety of great
angling opportunities. The lake offers two free boat launch ramps with public parking, a fishing pier
designed specifically for persons with disabilities, and a major playground complex for the youngsters.
Boating is unlimited horsepower, allowing water skiing and the use of personal
watercraft. The borough has public dock spaces available, which can be rented on a daily, weekly, or
annual basis.
Fishing Edinboro Lake can be a real smorgasbord, species in the lake include largemouth
and smallmouth bass, muskellunge, panfish and walleye. The Commission stocks the lake
with juvenile muskellunge and walleye.

stream is designated fishing for children 12 year old and under, as well as handicapped
