Like to swim, picnic, hike, or fish? If you do, Penn State
is a good place to go to school. The University is surrounded
with some of the most beautiful State Parks in the-Common
wealth.
The University has often been criticized for its inaccessi
bility, but its location has the advantage of being close to
Pennsylvania's finest recreational
and scenic areas.
Probably the best known and
most visited of the five parks in
the area is Whipples State Park
on Route 545 in Stone Valley.
Whipples is about 50 acres of
wooded area with a 6-acre body
of water. The small lake is formed
by a CCC-constructed dam built
in the early 30's.
Swiming is the most popular
summer sport at Whipples. Each
year, students rush out to test
the cold Water on the first warm
day of spring.
Ralph Parks, forest ranger at
Whipples, said that on the 4th of
July weekend last summer they
had a record crowd, of 15,000 visi
tors on Sunday. He said that last
season, they had a total of about
a quarter of a million visitors.
Swimmer who bring their lun
ches and dinners can use one of
the 230 picnic tables on the
grounds.
Fishermen may be lucky
enough to catch their lunches if •
they hook one of the many rain
bow trout that are stocked in
the lake.
Boaters are invited, but they
are not permitted to use motors
on the lake, only oars.
Hunting is the most popular
winter sport at Whipples. There
are 44 hunting camps in the dis
trict. Pennsylvanians may hunt

New Excuse
For Cutting
Student fishermen have another
excuse fo. cutting class today--L
Fishermen's Paradise opens at
9 a.m., to ma-k the 25th anni
versary of itn founding.
Each year, hundreds of anglers
from all parts of the state come
to Centre County to try their luck
at the Paradise. Last year, the /
largest fish caught was an 111-
pound rainbow trout, measuring )
29 1 / 2 inches.
The Paradise is located between!
State College and Bellefonte and

until July 19.
Fishermen can catch all three
species of trout—rainbow, brook
and brown. The fish must meas
ure 10 inches to be legal, while
a 6-inch trout is legal elsewhere
in the state.
, Today, there will be as many
spectators at the Paradise watch
ing those who are fishing, as fish
ermen themselves.
The employees at the Paradise
have placed signs at key points
as a guide to fishermen.
Each fists taken at the Paradise
is listed by species, size and
weight, along with name and
address of the angler.
