 Edward Gertler, author of a series of canoeing books, calls Black Moshannon Creek "about the best whitewater run in the West Branch Susquehanna Watershed" in "Keystone Canoeing", and the first stretch of Class 2+ whitewater for canoeing and kayaking begins in the park, just downstream of the dam.Cold water fishing is available in Black Moshannon Creek and several of its tributaries, where anglers will find rainbow and brown trout which have been stocked there for sport fishing by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.Black Moshannon Lake's waters are warmer than those of the creek, and so hold many different species of fish, including largemouth bass, yellow perch, chain pickerel, bullhead catfish, northern pike, bluegill, and crappie.
