Bald Eagle Creek is a 55-mile-long tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River that flows primarily through Centre County, with portions extending into Blair and Clinton Counties. This peaceful yet popular freestone stream originates as marginal trout water in its upper reaches before transforming into exceptional trout fishery as it flows downstream, particularly after receiving the flows of Spring Creek near Milesburg. The creek supports excellent populations of both wild and stocked trout, along with quality smallmouth bass, rock bass, walleye, and channel catfish. From Port Matilda downstream through Milesburg, anglers find over 20 miles of productive trout water, with the creek running its course through varied terrain before entering Foster Joseph Sayers Lake. The system has earned recognition as a Class A Wild Trout Water in several sections, showcasing the creek's ability to support naturally reproducing brown trout populations alongside robust stocked fisheries.
