Located near Stahlstown in Westmoreland County, Lake Donegal #1 offers convenient access to Donegal Lake, a 90-acre impoundment on Fourmile Run. This site features **two launch ramps with associated parking**, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boats. The lake was recently refilled following a major dam rehabilitation project completed in 2016, so conditions are well-maintained and the infrastructure is modern.
Donegal Lake is stocked with muskellunge, walleye, and channel catfish, making it a productive fishing destination. The calm, reservoir environment makes this an ideal spot for recreational paddling, family outings, and anglers. With two dedicated launch ramps, the site can accommodate moderate traffic without congestion. This is a Commonwealth-owned facility managed by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.
