Deer Lakes Park

Deer Lakes Park is a 1,180-acre (4.8 km²) county park in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania in the United States. It is a part of the county's 12,000-acre (49 km²) network of nine distinct parks.

The park is sited 15 miles northeast of Downtown Pittsburgh in Frazer and West Deer townships. Deer Lakes already had a large man-made lake, and during its development two other lakes added. The lakes are spring fed, and construction of dams and settling basins make it a paradise for fishermen.
