About This Access Site
**Location & Facilities**
Lake Donegal #2 is located in Acme, Westmoreland County, near the Borough of Donegal (approximately 1.2 miles northeast). This access point offers two launch ramps with associated parking, making it convenient for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The site is managed by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.

**Water Body Overview**
Donegal Lake is a 90-acre impoundment on Fourmile Run, recently refilled after completing dam rehabilitation and safety upgrades (2016-2017). The lake is stocked with muskellunge, walleye, and channel catfish, making it popular with anglers as well as paddlers. The calm, reservoir setting makes it suitable for recreational paddling and small motorboats, though conditions and water levels can vary seasonally.

**Getting Started**
Before launching, contact the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission for current conditions, any access restrictions, and parking details. The dual ramps accommodate various watercraft, and the lake's recreational focus means you'll likely encounter both fishing and pleasure boaters during peak season.
