That acreage is the figure given by the Fish and Boat Commission's PA Lakes map. It is one of the Small Water lakes, our tier for lakes under a hundred acres. It is Quiet Water: paddle craft and electric-motor boats only. That rule is as listed by the Fish and Boat Commission's access data. You launch at Hereford Manor access area, which has a launch ramp and parking listed as 10 spaces or more. At least one put-in is marked closed in the source data; read the notice below before you plan a trip. Launching at a Fish and Boat Commission or state park site requires a Pennsylvania boat registration or a PFBC or State Parks launch permit. It is an alternate this season because of a dated closure or drawdown notice, so read the notice box before you plan a trip. Logging it moves you toward the Southwest region milestone. In a straight line, it is about 28 miles from Pittsburgh to the nearest put-in. Before you go, check posted signs, the weather and the operator's notices.
