Leaser Lake Park
Overview
Leaser Lake Park is a 540-acre park that includes a 117-acre lake providing access to fishing from shore or by boat. Around the lake is a 4-mile trail providing beautiful views for seasonal hiking. Swimming and bathing are prohibited here.
Fishing
Leaser Lake offers excellent warmwater fishing opportunities. The Commission stocks the lake with trout a number of times throughout the year. Access for shore fishing is good. Commonwealth Inland Waters regulations apply for Trout. Miscellaneous Waters with Special Regulations apply for all other species of fish.
The Commission historically has stocked the lake with Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Walleye and White Crappie fingerling. Fish habitat structures have been placed in the lake (view PDF map) over the years as part of the Commission's Fish Habitat Improvement Program.
Boating
Boating is limited to boats powered by electric motors and un-powered boats. Three launch ramps are available along with 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). Sailboats up to 17 feet and small electric motors are permitted.
Parking
Activity centers are located on the east, west and north sides of the lake. Each area has a parking lot. The north and east side parking lots have boat launch ramps. All three areas have rest rooms, picnic tables and benches. The north end is the main picnic area and has over 50 tables, most of which are shaded by trees.
