Getting Outdoors

Laurel Lake is the most popular feature of Erving State Forest. The lake got its name because of the blooming mountain laurel flowers that surround it in spring. Anglers often come here during the warmer months to catch largemouth bass, brook trout, rainbow trout, yellow perch, and bluegill. Laurel Lake has a small boat ramp next to the campground. Visitors who go camping at Erving State Forest and have a motorboat with them may use it to launch the vessel into the water. Additionally, there is a small beach by the lake. Swimmers and sunbathers frequent it. The temperature of the water is a bit cold sometimes, but it feels pleasant when the weather is warm.

Jon was a true gentleman who went above and beyond to make sure our stay went off without a hitch. He helped us out with a few questions we had and was always there for help and assistance. The RV was perfect and very clean. I would recommend Jon to anyone and everyone.
