    Hiking

    The Civilian Conservation Corps built the Hopewell Dam in the 1930s, which damns French Creek to create a 68-acre warm-water lake. The fish that call this lake home are bass, panfish, chain pickerel, northern pike, muskellunge, and walleye, and you can find anglers ice fishing in colder months.
