    Anglers can enjoy fishing for steelhead in Elk Creek and the mouth of Elk Creek as it enters Lake Erie. The Elk Creek Access is open 24 hours for use by anglers.

    Elk Creek is a world-class shallow stream steelhead fishery with steelhead runs from late fall to early spring. Steelhead -- a type of rainbow trout -- reach 30 inches or longer and inhabit the cool waters of Lake Erie and seek rivers for spawning.

    Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission regulations and laws apply.
