Non-powered and electric motors are permitted on Lower Hereford Manor Lake. A good boat ramp is provided on the southeastern corner of the lake, along with a large parking area. Vehicular access is found on both the east and west shores of the lake. It is along Route 228, a few miles west of Zelienople.

Brady Run Lake
Brady Run Lake is the centerpiece of Brady Run County Park in Beaver County. It is off Route 51 north of Beaver.

Last winter, Brady Run Lake was stocked with trout in late February.

Access is good all around Brady Run Lake via a hard road and a trail system. Boats are permitted with electric motors only.

Laurel Hill Lake
This 63-acre lake is found in the popular state park of the same name in the mountains of Somerset County.

Last winter, Laurel Hill Lake was stocked in early February, and also during the previous fall. The goal of fall stockings is to provide recreation during that part of the year.

The remaining fish that aren't caught soon after the fall stocking add to the fish available during the winter months. Access is good around much of the lake. Boats with electric motors are allowed.

Thanks to the higher elevation of Laurel Hill Lake, the place enjoys a longer ice-fishing season than many other lakes that sit at lower altitudes. During mild winters, stream fishing may also be enjoyed on the nearby Delayed Harvest, Artificial Lures Only project on Laurel Creek.

Laurel Hill State Park may be reached from Interstate 76 by way of exits 110 (Somerset) and 91 (Donegal). Route 31 provides access to the lake from the interstate highway.

Lake Rowena
At 15 acres, Cambria County's Lake Rowena is near the intersection of Route 22 and Route 422, both major arteries in this part of the state. This makes the lake a popular destination for anglers from both the western and central parts of the Keystone State.

Lake Rowena's trout are quite accessible to anglers. Last year, the lake was stocked in early December and February. Rowena is on the outskirts of Ebensburg, the county seat of Cambria County, with plenty of services nearby. Like Laurel Lake, Rowena sits at a higher elevation. This, combined with the lake's relatively small size, adds up to quick ice cover. The lake has one of the longest ice-fishing seasons in the area.

Boats with electric motors are permitted if ice is not present.
