The Outflow Camping Area is located on Youghiogheny River Lake in the heart of the Laurel Highlands, where the lake spans the Mason-Dixon Line between Pennsylvania and Maryland. Clean waters, forested mountains and steep-sided valleys provide an unsurpassed setting. Camping, fishing, boating, water skiing, hiking, biking, picnicking and sightseeing are the area's most popular activities. Boaters consider Youghiogheny River Lake, with its 16-mile length and channels up to one-half mile wide, the best powerboating and water skiing lake in southwestern Pennsylvania. The outflow area is renowned for its excellent trout fishing and is stocked from April to September each year, and a fishing pier is located in the campground. The campground contains walk-to group sites, RV sites and tent-only sites, with electric hookups available in many. Flush toilets, showers, drinking water and a dump station are provided, along with an amphitheater and children's playground. Hammock stations have been added to the Bike and Hike and Group Camping sites. The country surrounding the lake is made up of narrow valleys and high rounded hills with steep slopes. Much of the land is covered with northern hardwoods including beech, sugar maple, white ash, yellow poplar and basswood, and deer, bear, turkey, grouse, rabbit and squirrel make their home here. Some of Pennsylvania and Maryland's finest state parks surround Youghiogheny Lake. Ohiopyle State Park is known for some of the best whitewater in the East and is often the location of national kayaking competitions, and cyclists enjoy the many miles of bike trails in the area.
