LINN RUN IS LINN-SANELY FUN

Nestled among the mixed hardwood and evergreen
trees of the Laurel Highlands, you will find Linn
Run State Park, Westmoreland County, and the
park namesake, Linn Run. At 612 acres, Linn Run
State Park offers more than you might guess at first
glance. Due to its location in the heart of the Laurel
Highlands, Linn Run State Park is proximal to a
variety of fishing opportunities. From the nearby
running waters of Youghiogheny River, Laurel Hill
Creek, Meadow Run, to Kooser Lake, Laurel Hill
Lake, and Loyalhanna Lake, there are a multitude
of available fishing opportunities. What Linn Run
offers that some of the other waters may not offer is the
chance for anglers to catch native Brook Trout.
Sometimes native Brook Trout can be reckless when
it comes to attacking an angler's offering. At other times,
native Brook Trout are skittish. Averaging 6- to 8-inches,
these small fish match the small waters of Linn Run and
require anglers to stealthily approach and accurately cast to
avoid startling the fish. If startled, it takes some time before
the fish resume feeding. Small, dark lures and flies work well
for me, while other anglers prefer small spinners, green mop
flies, or small white worms.

But, if you think Linn Run is just for fishing, you are
missing out on a great deal of fun. Picnicking is popular,
and there are picnic tables throughout the park. There are
also playgrounds and restrooms. The picturesque Adam
Falls offers a pavilion that may be rented. Horses are
permitted along Linn Run Road and on designated trails
in the adjoining Forbes State Forest. Snowmobiles are also
permitted along Linn Run Road and in the cabin area,
which allows access to the Forbes State Forest snowmobile
trails. Hunting is permitted in designated areas. Consult
