The lake at North Park also served as the host location for the inaugural Fishing Derby in fall 2023 presented by the Allegheny County Veterans Services department.
The Lakes at Deer Lakes Park
Deer Lakes Park features three separate lakes – Upper, Middle, and Lower – which are both manmade and spring-fed. State fisheries stock the lakes with small fish such as bluegill, crappie, perch, sunfish, and trout. There are also a few prominent larger fish, including catfish and bass.
