Boaters On Bald Eagle Creek

   We own some waterfront real estate in Clinton County, Pa.  We often see the flash of paddles or hear motor boats passing... that's why we know many people enjoy boating, canoeing, and kayaking on Bald Eagle Creek.  In fact, we ourselves often go canoeing and boating on Bald Eagle Creek.
   Here is a photo of some friends fishing while we slowly motor along. 
Fishing on Bald Eagle Creek, Clinton County, Pa

   Bald Eagle Creek makes a nice canoe run much of the season.  Folks often put in up near Bald Eagle Lake and float to Mill Hall.  That stretch takes a few hours to float. Some folks go on past the boat access, portage the dam, and take out near Lock Haven.   That whole run makes a good day trip. There are some riffles and swift water along the way that make it a fun run.  The fishing is good as you float down stream.

Yep, let out a fishing line behind you as you float down stream... 
 There is an interesting string of little islands that start about a mile above the Route 150 bridge.  These islands are boom cribs from the Bald Eagle Boom Company's log boom.  You can see a couple of those boom cribs in the photo below.

 Below the Mill Hall Fish and Boat Commission access at the Route 150 bridge the water is pooled behind the paper mill dam.  This makes a nice, boat-able, 2.5 mile section on Bald Eagle Creek.

   This boat-able stretch is upstream and down stream from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Access at Mill Hall.
 Kayaks may be the most common thing we see on the water.  Here is a photo of a few kayakers coming around a corner... I took the photo to try to capture the "flash of the paddles".

Well, maybe it worked.
Here is a photo of Bald Eagle Mountain reflecting on the creek.

 Oh yes, we do see Bald Eagles along the creek.
