Lake Information for Lake Wilhelm
Lake Wilhelm is an 1,860-acre lake located in Maurice K. Goddard State Park in Mercer County. It is very popular with anglers. Many recreational activities attract visitors in all seasons. The large lake, abundant wetlands, old fields and mature forests provide a diversity of habitats for wildlife, especially waterfowl, eagles and ospreys.
A bait and fishing tackle concession is available at the marina. An area called the “Rounded Point,” near the Marina parking lot, has an accessible fishing pier.
Lake Wilhelm is a warm-water fishery. Common species are largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike, muskellunge, bluegill, crappie, catfish, perch and sunfish.
Ice fishing accounts for many of the larger fish caught in Lake Wilhelm.
The park is five minutes from I-79. Take Exit 34 (Sandy Lake-Greenville) and travel west on PA 358 (towards Greenville) for about 0.1-mile, then bear right onto Sheakleyville Road. At the first stop sign, turn right onto Lake Wilhelm Road, which goes directly to the park.
