The eagle’s lake

The Lower Penn Lake has been source to many varied forms of wildlife. Foxes, geese, blue herons, birds, beavers, hawks, and a longtime resident eagle. The eagle has nested for years and had babies. He can be seen hunting on the ice in winter and hunting when the offspring are young. One time out on the water in the kayak we watched the adult teaching his offspring to soar. Over our heads… higher and higher the baby went… until it literally flew from sight. This has also been a migratory lake with fascinating formations… it is not a private lake for a few residents… but a public park and area shared both with the community and with stunning wildlife. It is peaceful and beautiful… and it is rare the park is ever completely empty.
