The lake is managed as a Big Bass Lake. Statewide regulations for Commonwealth Inland Waters apply for all other species of fish.

Access for anglers is excellent along the north shore of the lake with well worn angler paths, mowed grass fields, and two fishing piers providing access to the waters edge. Shore fishing is permitted.

Fish habitat structures have been placed in the lake over the years as part of the Commission's Cooperative Fish Habitat Improvement Program.

BOATING

Boating at Kaercher Creek Lake is limited to boats powered by electric motors and un-powered boats. The primary type of boats used on the lake are shallow-draft, lightweight fishing boats, canoes and inflatables. A surfaced launch ramp is available along with associated parking facilities.

Un-powered boats may be moored at the lake in accordance with Commission property regulations. To be used at the lake, boats must be registered or have a valid launch permit (permits are issued by the Commission or PA Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources).
