Beautiful lake and it's very quiet there. The anticipation of driving 5 mph on a 3 mile pothole infested dirt road to get to the lake but it's worth it. One of my top five lakes to play on. read more

Brady's lake is a man made lake owned by the PA Game Commission. The lake was originally dammed to be a part of the ice harvesting business in the early part of the 20th century. Parts of the ice house foundation can still be seen, though the growth around the area is thicker every year. The dam was rebuilt in 2008, and is now a quiet, safe place for everyone. Because it is a part of the Game Commission, orange vests are encouraged during hunting season. My mother's favorite story to tell is of parking the car, opening the door for her black lab, being told that black bear was is season, putting the dog back in the car, and skipping the walk for that day. We visit Brady's lake a few times a month as a family. We bring the dog, wear sturdy shoes, and have a bunch of fun disturbing the bull frogs at the water's edge. This spring we were able to watch the tadpoles turn into polliwogs, and we are able to see the lake at it's fullest. Fun on many levels. Bring bug repellant and sunscreen, carry a bottle of water. Wave to the fishermen, bikers, and joggers as they enjoy their day. Brady's lake is 3 miles off of Route 940, making it one of those rare spots to hike. Easy access, and perfect peace. Enjoy! read more

Hidden down a 3 mile long dirt road awaits a picturesque little lake. It's classified as a "Big Bass" lake so there must be some nice fish on it. Built in 1915 and it seems only the locals know about it. I wish I had a boat to really explore it. Then I see a sign warning that there might be live ordnance in the lake because it use to be a proving ground during WWII. A great place to do some fishing, hike or have a picnic on the bank. read more
