Piney Run Lake is surrounded by 550 acres of fields, forest, and open space in Piney Run Park. Natural, educational, and recreational opportunities abound in the park and boating is one of the most popular activities. Canoes, sailboats, rowboats, kayaks, and electric powered fishing boats are used on the lake during the Park season only. The shoreline is undeveloped and is lined with tightly packed trees and beautiful forest. The very northern tip of the lake is not contained in Piney Run Park and the shoreline there is privately owned but remains rural in nature. There is much aquatic vegetation and fishing is argued one of the best locations in the state.
