Little Birches Chalet is just up the hill  from a private 195 acre lake of beautiful clear mountain water.  It's stocked annually and has access points for putting in your boat. Using the renter tags provided with your rental, you will have private access to this and other amenities in the community.  You might want to explore the area by boat or maybe check out the island.

The best thing about your vacation at Little Birches Chalet is that there is something for everyone.  If your wife isn't hooked on fishing quite as much as you are, perhaps she'll head for the pool or the lake's sand beach; or better yet, she might enjoy the deck at the club house where she can enjoy a cool drink and have a lake view of the beach and the pool.  

FIVE MINUTES away in Hickory Run State Park, you'll find excellent fishing opportunities in many of the streams and lakes within the park boundaries, especially Fourth Run and Sand Spring Run. These streams are stocked with brook and brown trout. Mud Run is a delayed harvest, artificial lure only stream. The lower 2.9 miles of Hickory Run, from near the Saylorsville Dam to the Lehigh River, is a catch and release fishing only area.

The Lehigh River, which flows along the western boundary of the park, has warm-water game fish, trout and panfish. Francis E. Walter Dam, about 20 minutes from the park, provides boating and angling for trout and warm-water game fish. Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission laws apply.

For complete information on fishing rules and regulations in Pennsylvania, visit the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Web site.

If hiking is your bag you can step right out the door and head back through the woods to enjoy a fantastic mountain experience.  If you jump in your car and drive five miles to Hickory Run you will be overwhelmed with hours of hiking trails mapped out for you.
