Loyalhanna Lake Pavilions

We recently visited this lake, and it was very nice. The lake is actually pretty big, and seemed really clean. The boat ramp area was kind of shallow, so if you have a big boat your going to have to back into the water for sure. We found a nice area on shore way in the back and beach our jet ski there. We set up a portable hammock and relaxed, while watching others play around in the water. The fi... We recently visited this lake, and it was very nice.

We found a nice area on shore way in the back and beach our jet ski there. We set up a portable hammock and relaxed, while watching others play around in the water. The fishing was not good that day, but it was mid day and usually that's never a good time to fish anyways. We will definitely be returning here soon. Update 8/17/2020 We went here again today with our jet ski. The lake is pretty nice, and large enough to have alot of fun. However BE CAREFUL on the South side of the lake, the water depth becomes SUPER SHALLOW very quickly. We ended up running a ground, and bogged out the jet ski. There are no clear marking's to warn you that the water literally becomes a foot deep out of nowhere. I even saw a kayak run a ground far off the shoreline, which was crazy. Also the fishing SUCKS here, we tried everything and didn't even get a bite. I believe that this lake has SO much fishing pressure that it's basically fished out. I would NOT recommend fishing here, but boating is fun long as you stay on the Northern side.

I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere at Loyalhanna. There is no drinking so no chance of hearing loud out of control partying at the lake usually. If someone is being drunkinly loud the campground host or 911 from what I've heard makes it a easy fix but I've never had to deal with it. On occasion across the lake you will hear loud cars and people it usually doesn't last long. Fishing is hit and mis... I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere at Loyalhanna.

On occasion across the lake you will hear loud cars and people it usually doesn't last long. Fishing is hit and miss people are always out on boats and kayaks. There is a small boat launch and ramp. The lake does have areas of debree from trees etc especially when the dam releases water. You can go quite aways in kayak if you want to. If you are tent camping I would recommend being on a sight that has plenty of shade for hot days. The bathrooms and shower are cleaned in the mornings but through the day people track in and out. Its a bathroom with a shower at a campground so it does get a little messy but not gross. Everyone I have encountered is nice and easy to talk to. Campsites are keept nice each with fire pit, table, pole with hook on it for trash bag or whatever.

I sometimes stop here since I work down in Latrobe. There are multiple picnic tables and a playground at the top of the hill. There was also a basketball hoop in the middle of the parking lot. They also have real nice bathrooms right near the Ranger station up near the parking lot. To get down near the water there is a black top trail that might be a little steep for some.

There was also a basketball hoop in the middle of the parking lot. They also have real nice bathrooms right near the Ranger station up near the parking lot. To get down near the water there is a black top trail that might be a little steep for some. There are also some pretty cool hiking trails through the woods here. If you have not explored this one yet, I recommend you should. I heard the fishing hair is pretty good, but have not tried that out myself
