Sweet Arrow Lake County Park wraps a 60-acre lake in roughly 183 acres near Pine Grove — a day-use park with paved lakefront paths, a waterfall walk, the natural Berger Dam Trail, disc golf, a clubhouse, and an amphitheatre.
Fishing & boating
The lake is PFBC-managed and stocked each spring with trout — rainbow, brook, brown, and golden rainbow — plus channel catfish and tiger muskellunge, and it holds largemouth bass, chain pickerel, crappie, perch, and bluegill. It is open to year-round fishing and is electric-motor-only, with a public boat launch, a seasonal mooring area, and an ADA fishing pier off Sweet Arrow Lake Road. Mooring and trout fishing carry seasonal fees and permit rules that change year to year — confirm current details with Schuylkill County Parks & Recreation and the PFBC.
On the trails
About seven trails range from easy paved lakefront loops and a short, accessible waterfall walk (to a ~12–15 ft falls on Upper Little Swatara Creek) to the rolling, ~2-mile natural Berger Dam Trail, which passes the historic Berger Dam and ties into disc-golf holes.
Getting there
The park is off Sweet Arrow Lake Road (SR 3002) about a mile northeast of Pine Grove borough, with several lots and dawn-to-dusk access.
