Custom Search     Stairway Lake     So about the stairway lake, is that a no swimming area?? Says Sara Actually, for those who can't fish it probably ain't the best lake for ya, but for those of us that love bass fishing, this lake is great for it. I have caught many nice LM Bass and some 20'' and 4 1/2 pounds. Love the lake, fish there all the time. Says MC Looking for the entrance road to stairway lake. Can anyone help with any information? Says Eddie Bunn 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. Says JC            Map Detailed Map Weather Local weather forecast
