Fish/Hunt

The Pristine environment of the Blackwater Reservoir includes a meandering eight-mile stretch of the Blackwater River, an excellent canoe stream stocked with brown and rainbow trout. Anglers can also try their luck at catching perch, bass, sunfish, and pickerel as well.

 

 

 

 

Hunting is another popular recreation opportunity. Hunters will find a wide variety of game species, including bear, moose, deer, pheasant, rabbit, grouse, and water fowl. Both gun and bow hunters a lit enjoy the solitude found within the reservoir.
