Fishing Lake Henry All Boaters must adhere to the following when fishing Lake Henry

NEW RULES There is a slow/no-wake rule from sundown to 9am for all boaters.
Larger boat motors which will interfere with the aeration system are to be kept high until out of the channel/boat launch area.
Power loading is strictly prohibited.
No tournaments may be conducted on holiday weekends.
Tournaments may not exceed 30 boats.
Foul language is prohibited.
All anglers must abide by Clayton Park's quiet hours from 10pm until 8am and be mindful of nearby campers and cottagers who are sleeping. No car horns, loud talking, or other disturbing behaviors as determined by Clayton Park will be tolerated.
LICENSE REQUIRED A valid PA fishing license is required for all persons age 16 and over and must be displayed at all times. (Check out free fishing days here.) If you can't get to a store to purchase a license, you can obtain a license or replacement for a lost license online at the PA Fish and Boat Commission's website.
LAWS & REGULATIONS All fishermen must obtain, read and abide by PA Fish & Boat Commission boating and fishing laws and any other state, local and federal laws in force. Our local PA Fish & Boat Commission office is located in Sweet Valley and officers routinely patrol our waters.
BOAT LIGHTS If you are unsure whether or not you will need boat lights, official rules state you must have lights by the time the sun begins to set. As a general reference, you can view sunset times at NOAA's website.

CATCH & RELEASE We are happy to report the majority of our fishermen practice "catch and release". All tournaments are catch and release. Clayton Park strongly urges fishermen to review and practice safe catch and release practices. Learn how to unhook a fish and remove hooks in a way which reduces the likelihood of tearing mouths and jaws. These efforts can aid in the maintenance of a healthy fish population forfuture satisfactory angling experiences.
ABOUT LAKE HENRY Boaters must exercise added caution when navigating the waters of Lake Henry. You may not use gas motors in our channel area and you must abide by the slow/no-wake rule from sunset to 9am. Many unmarked stumps exist, particularly in the northern to central sections of the lake. Depths range from 5 to 10 feet at the northern end of the lake to 30 feet at the southern end.

MOTOR SIZE Lake Henry has no current restrictions on motor size. All boaters born after 1981 must obtain a Boating Safety Education Certificate to pilot a boat of 26 horsepower or greater.
COURTESY TO OTHERS Although the waters of Lake Henry are public, the property surrounding the lake is private. Be careful when casting near others boats, docks and land. In the rare event you miscast and snag a hook, you must not trespass on to boats, docks or property. Clayton Park reserves the right to restrict access to our boat launch in light of what Clayton Park determines discourteous, illegal or dangerous behavior while boating on Lake Henry. Report any infractions while boating to Clayton Park management immediately at 570-840-3714 and/or contact the PFBC at 570-477-5717.
PROTECTING OUR WATERS Please help us protect our waters from invasive weeds. We remind you to practice rinsing your boat between launches to different waters. We provide a hose at the boat ramp for your convenience.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION We enjoy providing you with the opportunity to fish Lake Henry. Keeping the above in mind while fishing & boating will further our efforts to continue providing our launch service for years to come.
