Mountsberg

Mountsberg is a perfect location for those looking for a quite, peaceful day of paddling or fishing. Visitors can access the reservoir from two locations: Mountsberg Conservation Area and the Mountsberg Dam. Smaller boats, such as canoes and kayaks can be launched from the shore at Mountsberg Conservation Area, but must be carried a short distance from the parking lot, or from the boat launch at Mountsberg Dam. Larger boats, must be launched from Mountsberg Dam.

Notes: Only non-motorized boats are allowed at Mountsberg, with the exception of electric trolling motors. No live bait permitted. The reservoir is divided by a live rail line, so access to the rail line is strictly prohibited
