As an electric motors only waterway,
it is quiet every day. This scenic lake is
surrounded by forest-covered hillsides,
with the only developments on its
shoreline being the beach at the day-use
area and two boat launches (north and
south ends of the lake).
Justus Lake is in a county park setting.
Call ahead to verify current hours of
operation at 814-676-6116 for the office
of Two Mile Run County Park. According
to Park Manager Luke Kauffman, rentals

not trolling. Although, I do see others trolling for trout,
especially parallel to the dam," said McFadden.
The most recent biological survey of Justus Lake was
a year and a half ago. In May 2019, the PFBC conducted
night electrofishing to evaluate the effect of the Big Bass
regulations, which took effect at Justus Lake in 1998. As
described in more detail in the fisheries report on PFBC's
website at www.fishandboat.com, "In 2019, there were 366
black bass we stunned through electrofishing, gathered,
measured, and weighed: 158 Smallmouth Bass up to 20
inches long; and 208 Largemouth Bass up to 21 inches in
length. That year was a record for us on this lake, in terms
of number of bass gathered, the numbers of each species
being greater than 12 inches long, and the number of each
species of bass longer than 15 inches."
But, it is not just the two-story nature of Justus Lake that
makes it unusual and inviting. Numerous habitat structures
have been installed therein, especially along its east shore.
