RV Rental Bald Eagle State Park, PA

Covering 1,730 acres, the Foster Joseph Sayers Reservoir is the centerpiece of Bald Eagle State Park. During the summer months, campers and day-use visitors flock to the park's 1,200-foot beach. Featuring sand and turf, the beach is the ideal spot for anyone looking to go for a swim and escape the summer heat. The swimming area is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with a kids' playground, snack bar, changing rooms, and restrooms all provided.

Boating is also a hugely popular way to spend a day on the eight-mile-long lake. The park's six boat launches are spaced out around the lake, and most of them provide 24-hour access. There are also 369 docking slips available for rent at the marina, with boat rentals available from Memorial Day through Labor Day as well as on the weekends during September and October.

Many of those who take to the water also bring their fishing gear with them. The lake offers great warmwater fishing, with species like crappie, yellow perch, and largemouth and smallmouth bass all calling these waters home. There's also an ADA-accessible fishing pier located near the Winter boat launch.

Away from the water, the other main attraction in Bald Eagle State Park is hiking. With almost 15 miles of trails throughout the park, taking a stroll is the best way to explore the forests and wetlands that surround the lake. The one-and-a-half-mile Butterfly Trail offers easy hiking and is a favorite with kids, while the four-mile Lakeside Trail is more difficult but rewards hikers with beautiful glimpses of the water.
