Boating, beach

I have been going to Brookville reservoir since I was a kid. The camp ground is big, the beach is clean and also very large. Enjoy watching the boats on the lake. Good fishing, swimming, boating and camping.

If it's so bad that I need to shower, I wouldn't describe Brookville as a clean lake. "Blue-Green Algae Advisory at Mounds SRA and Quakertown SRA: Swimming and boating permitted.

Do not allow your pets to swim or drink water where algae are present. Check back for updates."
