Canonsburg Lake, lake in United States
Canonsburg Lake is a reservoir in Washington County, Pennsylvania, covering about 76 acres and owned by the state. The water is managed by the Fish and Boat Commission and serves as a public space for fishing and boating with multiple fish species including trout, catfish, and bass.
The lake was created as a dam-built reservoir to manage water supply for the region. Trout stocking has been a central part of its management for many years, supporting the local fishing community.
Shore and pier fishing are available, with a fishing pier built for people with disabilities. Only non-powered or electric motor boats are allowed, must be registered, and should navigate slowly to preserve the area's calm.
A nonprofit group called Canonsburg Lake Restoration and Improvement Association actively works to protect and improve the lake. Water levels can fluctuate due to management decisions, so visitors should check current conditions before planning water activities.
