About Cloe Lake
Cloe Lake is number 14 on the LakePA 100: a 27-acre reservoir in Jefferson County, in our North Central region. The acreage comes from the Fish and Boat Commission's page for the lake. Under a hundred acres, it belongs to the Small Water tier. Only paddle craft and electric-motor boats may use it, so it counts as Quiet Water. That rule is as listed by the Fish and Boat Commission's page for the lake. You launch at Cloe access area, which has a launch ramp, a pier and parking listed as 10 spaces or more. At Fish and Boat Commission and state park launches your boat needs a Pennsylvania registration or a PFBC or State Parks launch permit. It is held back by a dam: stay well clear of the dam, the spillway and the outlet structures. Logging it moves you toward the North Central region milestone. As the crow flies, the closest put-in is about 40 miles from Altoona. Check the weather, posted signs and the operator's latest notices before you launch.

Safety
Paddling has real risks. Wear your life jacket. Pennsylvania requires it to be worn on canoes, kayaks and paddleboards from Nov 1 through Apr 30, and by children 12 and under all year. Check the weather, posted signs and the operator's notices before you launch. Stay well away from dams, spillways and outlet structures. You paddle at your own risk.
