| Venango Clarion |
| DESCRIPTION: This 251-acre manmade lake is the best Venango/Clarion County site for migrating waterfowl. The eastern half of the lake is situated in Clarion County, the western in Venango County. All of the common grebes and ducks are present in spring following ice break-up. Fall migration is not as productive, but lasts longer. Uncommon to rare records include Red-necked and Eared grebes, Long-tailed Duck, all three scoters, Great Black-backed Gull, and Black and Caspian terns. |
