The Youghiogheny River Lake is mostly located in Pennsylvania but is very large and the southern portion of the reservoir is in the northwest corner of Maryland. It winds through a mountainous, heavily forested rural area and boasts beautifully clean waters and is gorgeous as it is surrounded by mountains and steep-sided valleys. There are numerous coves and backwater areas along the lake which provide excellent places to explore or to fish. There are a variety of game and panfish and Youghiogheny River Lake is considered a hotspot for walleye and smallmouth bass.
