Meadow Grounds Lake Fishing in Fulton County, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  Meadow Grounds Lake is one of the Fulton County listings for Pennsylvania. Elevation runs to 1,490 feet. At about 195 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly. With about 3.1 miles of edge, you can try several depths in one session. You are 3.2 miles from McConnellsburg. Then Mercersburg, 10 miles, and Hancock, 16 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Meadow Grounds Lake

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Across Fulton County, recorded fish include bluegill, yellow perch and walleye. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Work Meadow Grounds Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 72°F, with January the cold end at about 28°F. Ice comes and goes from one year to the next. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. The season on Meadow Grounds Lake follows the weather closely.
