Bald Eagle Creek — Milesburg Confluence (Class A begins)

Directions

Where Spring Creek joins Bald Eagle Creek. From here downstream through the Sayers Lake backwater is the 5.7-mile Class A Wild Trout section — stocked rainbows plus wild browns, and the wild browns are catch-and-release only. Roughly two-thirds of the flow below here is Spring Creek. Park at Milesburg Community Park off Route 144, a tenth of a mile west: free, a small lot, and a short rocky path down to the water.
