Tub Run Recreation Area

Camping Reservations

Description

Tub Run Recreation Area is located at Youghiogheny River Lake. The lake lies in the heart of the Laurel Highlands and spans the Mason-Dixon line between Pennsylvania and Maryland. Clean waters, forested mountains, and steep-sided valleys provide an unsurpassed setting for recreation opportunities such as camping, fishing, boating, hiking, water-skiing, biking, picnicking, sightseeing, and more. Youghiogheny's Outflow Area is renowned for excellent trout fishing and is stocked regularly from April-September. Nearby attractions include some of Pennsylvania and Maryland's finest state parks. Ohiopyle State Park, PA, is especially known for some of the best whitewater in the East, and is often the scene of national kayaking competitions. Cyclists of all ages will enjoy the many miles of bike trails in the area. For the history buff, the area abounds in historical sites and parks. For sheer natural beauty, Youghiogheny Lake can't be beat. Summer temperatures usually range from the 50s to the 80s.
