Downey Duck Mahoning Creek Lake

Situated among steep-sided valleys and forested hillsides, Mahoning Creek Lake is surrounded by the rugged and striking terrain of western Pennsylvania. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers invites you to discover Mahoning's breath-taking scenery and its opportunities for outdoor recreation.

This lake is leased to the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission. Divers should check with this agency for more information on diving rules for this lake.

Divers should stop at the Resource Manager's or Park Office on the day of dive to make park rangers aware of dive plans.

Please Note:

What To See

Divers will find abundant walleye, muskie, northern pike, largemouth bass, and smallmouth bass inhabiting the lake and tailwaters. As a result of improving water quality downstream, brown and rainbow trout are now stocked in the outflow by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission who lease 860 acres of land and water.

The average depth of the lake is about 32 feet and the maximum depth is about 90 feet.
