it's a bit of a drive from pittsburgh, but in Indian Head there is a park that way over stocks fish for the kids. it's in northern fayette county. there's actually two creeks that meet in the park, then flow into Indian Creek. if the kids have the fish spooked, Indian Creek is right there.

if fayette county isnt to far for you, the creek below the **** for Virginrun lake is for kids only and is very heavily stocked.

So that kids section is still at Raccoon? I remember years ago it being there, and now that I have a daughter was looking on the Fish Commission website and didn't see it listed on there. If it is in fact still there, I gotta get her out there. Thanks.

saturday stockings are designed for kids to help stock and then and fish immediately afterwards. I think deer lakes are being done this saturday at 12:30. and racoon at 1PM check stockings for other counties. north park was last week. brush creek park pond (west of cranerry was stocked 25th.small pond great for kids. http://pfbc.state.pa.us/pfbc_webgis/TroutStockingDetails.aspx

I took my son to the Buffalo Creek "Kids and Handicapped" section of Buffalo today. Pretty stream with a lot of room to spread out. The only problem I saw was that there was one handicapped person, two kids and my son fishing legally. There was however, a half dozen adults with children there (most of the kids never got a chance to touch a rod while dad or big brother beat the creek to a froth). There was also some jagoff with one crutch faking an injury so that he could wade around in the stream and some other fat P.O.S. sitting on the bank casting nightcrawlers (pretty sure his only weakness was Dunkin Donuts). Anyways, my son fished the section for a while and did pretty well banging the stockies around for a couple of hours.
