Fishing

The Beaver River has a number of hot fishing spots. One area to explore is the pull-off at Merchant Valley. The river winds here and has awesome places to dip your pole to see if you can get a bite. The rest of the Beaver River has many little hidey holes to try. Peruse the river and pull off where there is parking available. You’ll probably find a secluded spot where you’ll have the fish all to yourself.

Mountain lake fishing is abundant as you fish all the lakes along Kent’s Lakes Loop. Or, hit up Puffer Lake, which is at the very top of Hwy 153 before it turns to gravel. These lakes are stocked with trout, making for some fun fishing. There are eagles in the area that like to swoop in and grab a fish when the opportunities arise. Hopefully, you have your phone handy for a video. It’s something incredible to capture!

Minersville Lake is a trophy lake for fishing. There’s a limit to the number of fish you can keep, and the fish have to be over a certain size, so check before fishing. This lake has a campground, so you can turn a day of fishing into a week. Lakeside cabins are available for reservation.
