Beautiful clear stocked lake. Great for getting out on your kayak to tool around and fish or float. Lots of grassy areas in lake so bait accordingly! Easy loading with ability to pull vehicle down to water to unload. Friendly guys working there.

Great park! Seems like lots of fish bring caught. Great walking trail. Its out and back but a good walk.

The one star is for the peace and beauty of the lake. I am an avid fisherman and catch fish everywhere I go...except here. Out of around 10 trips altogether, all through this year, I have caught 0 fish bigger than my hand. Worst fishing around and they normally charge to fish lol...what a joke. Never going back. The only structure in the water is grass. No shade on the water all day...these are the 2 main reasons no one ever catches anything. There are big catfish but thats about it.

Oh My God! Me and my father fish here and find some big blue gil occastionnally, but still there are alot of very good and big fish in the water! I love this lake, I dont like the long walks but ill take it if it means i can leave with either a good time or big/small fish. I would recommend fishing here, you just have to be at the lake at certain seasons, and the service the people that work there are very nice and kind to my family.

This lake is awesome! My primary issue with this lake is that there needs to be a clear path that allows you to get around the lake to fish. If you have a small water craft youre good.

Great little lake to fish. I bring my son here, and we usually catch something. Its very nice, clean, and rarely busy depending on when you go.Fishing passes are very reasonable, and they have a bait shop available as well in case you forget something.Always had great service and a good time.

This place is big and beautiful. I would have given it more stars but I so no fish being caught. Being able to take a boat out on the water is a blessing. I dont know of any other pay lake that will let you do that. I have to give them a fourth star because they are trying to relieve some of the cabin fever stress by opening up at all. They are extremely friendly and helpful. I could go on and on about this place. But my words could not do its beauty justice. Fish or just take out the boat and relax. I do recommend this place. Especially if you have a kayak or a boat with a trolling motor.

Lots of hang up, some parts of the lake smelt like decay, closing time not posted at entrance. Caught 0 fish after hours of trying, though I never struggle that hard fishing anywhere else. The 2 stars is because it was pretty.

Good place to go fishing with kids or just a buddy after work. Good catfishing spot once the day starts to cool down a little bit. I would recommend fishing here to anyone.

Gorgeous lake. Only issue is not having access to 3/8 of the lake. Other than that the place is family fun or great place to unwind and catch some dinner

Very nice looking lake but rather limited and hard access 4 fishing. In my personal opinion the entire banks need to be cleared with the exception of a shade tree left here and there... There simply is not enough access in order to fishSuper friendly staff and they actually will give you a ride out and a golf cart to your location that you pick to fish from... They do have bait available as well

Beautiful park with a super clean, amazing lake. It is a pay fishing lake but they have golf carts to take you where you want and you just call them when youre done and they pick you and your catch up. They have paved paths and gazebos. They also have grills if you want to cook out at the gazebo. Port a let along the path. Multiple piers to fish from. I have seen very large fish while I was just standing on the pier. The water is so clean.Great place to walk your dog.

Stumbled on this place, cheap rates and definitely some big fish out there. Havent got any yet, seems life bait is the way to fish this place of you do come. They have a bait shop with minnows,goldfish, liver,nightcrawlers at reasonable rates. Golf cart to take you and your gear from your car to fishing site. Friendly staff. Now if I could just catch a few of these catfish...
