Canadohta Lake is the second-largest natural
lake in Pennsylvania. Its tree-lined shores and spring-fed waters
are located in the Keystone State's Great Lakes tourism region.
This sportsman's paradise is famous for its year-round fishing and
the tournaments it hosts, in particular the ice fishing tournament
held every February.
Canadohta Lake is one of eight lakes in Crawford County. The
waterways draw outdoor enthusiasts to the area for hiking, sailing,
swimming, fishing, camping, biking, canoeing and numerous other
activities. Anglers are delighted to hear that big fish stories are
no lie at Canadohta Lake; the state stocks Canadohta Lake annually
with pan fish, bluegill, perch, sunfish, northern pike,
muskellunge, walleye, smallmouth bass, and largemouth bass.
Washington Lake was the first name given the body of water. As the
story goes, during the Revolutionary War, George Washington was a
friend of Colonel Crawford, the namesake of the county in which
Canadohta Lake rests. The name was changed in the 1800s to the more
aptly descriptive Oil Creek Lake. Prospectors and developers bought
and sold land around the lake until about 1900, when a group of
rich men bought up all the property around the lake. They changed
the name to Canadohta after Cornplanter Chief Canadaughta. A
lawsuit opened up the lake to the public, relegated ownership of
Canadohta Lake to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and denied the
Canadohta Club private use of the water.
