Do I need a fishing license to fish at Acre Lake?

Yes, a valid Pennsylvania fishing license is required for persons aged 16 and over.

License costs

Pennsylvania residents:

• $14 for 1 day - $28 for 1 year

Non-residents:

• $15 for 1 day - $31 for 3 days - $40 for 7 days

You can purchase a license online at Fishandboat.com or pick one up at the Acre Lake Store next to our community.

Exceptions

You do not need a license if you are assisting a child by casting or retrieving a fishing rod, as long as the child is within arm's length.

Important notes

Acre Lake is a private lake with minimal patrol, so enforcement is rare. However, fishing without a required license carries a fine of approximately $250.

The lake does not have trout.
