About Pymatuning State Park

All Year Round Fishing

Both campers and anglers can enjoy Pymatuning State Park all year. While most campgrounds shutdown in the winter time, almost all of the campgrounds surrounding the lake remain open. Despite the boat ramps being closed, fishing on Pymatuning Reservoir carries on throughout the winter. Ice shanties filled with devout anglers can be sighted all over the lake once the ice has reached a safe thickness.

The Scenery

A scenic 2-mile-long causeway bridge spans the middle of the lake, connecting the towns of Espyville on the Pennsylvania side of the lake and Andover on the Ohio side. The bridge is crowned in the middle, with tall pillars and broad ducts underneath to allow lakewater to flow freely across the reservoir, and to permit the passage of sailboats and other pleasure craft travelling from one half of the lake to the other. The bridge is also equipped with small concrete and earthen pull-offs large enough for several vehicles apiece, with concrete staircases and walkways below the parking spaces to allow travelers to stroll down and fish or sightsee beside the bridge.

The Linesville Spillway – “Where the Ducks Walk on the Fish”

The Pennsylvania portion also has a spillway separating the (higher) upstream-most portion of the lake from the rest. A parking area along the spillway serves a popular warm-weather attraction commonly known as “where the ducks walk on the fish” because visitors throw bread to the thousands of carp and Canada geese who congregate there.
