This lake is so wonderful. The Creek Trail offers hiking at its best, and float down the rapids of Nescopeck Creek in a kayak. Good hiking is available along the Yellick Path, and you'll almost certainly meet some folks from Pottsville here. The neighborhood where Locust Lake is, is dominated by the Broad Mountain, and at Locust Lake you can catch a sight of Broad Mountain.

Stairway Lake
Not to differ from the obscure description given on the site, but Stairway Lake, or the Landingville Dam isn't quite the picture painted by that description. Well...Blue Marsh Ski is a cool half-hour away, you can about jump across Mahannon Creek, Mountain Springs is on the other side of the...mountain. But for real, the Landingville Dam is a decent place for water skiing and bass fishing. It is a superb location for crappie fishing and bird watching. The spillway is a great place for pickerel fishing and the emptying Schuylkill River is a wonderful run on a kayak or canoe. Take 'natural area' and 'desilting basin' with a grain of salt, as this dam is both. Natural enough to see a bald eagle, yet enough of a basin to see hundreds of plastic bottles strewn on the shores. Reasons to come to Landingille: carp, jet skis, foilage, isolation. Reasons not to: total lack of civilization, middle of nowhere, water pollution, isolation....
