Several reservoirs (consisting of over 8,000 acres)and over 700 miles of streams offer outstanding fishing opportunities. Over 70 species of game and non-game fish are present throughout the Forest. The State record Northern Pike (22 pounds, 8 ounces, 45-l/2 inches) and Walleye (l7 pounds, 9 ounces, 36 1/4 inches) were taken from the Allegheny Reservoir. Get your frying pan ready for brown, rainbow, and brook trout, muskellunge, small and largemouth bass, perch, sunfish and crappie.

More than 300 species of mammals, including raccoon, gray squirrel, snowshoe hare, red and gray fox, river otter, beaver, mink and muskrat as well as game species, such as the white-tailed deer, black bear and wild turkey provide excellent opportunity for hunting with a camera, gun, or bow.
