We have been going to Fairfield Lakes Park for several years now. We love to take our dogs walking on the trails, especially during the sunrise! We really enjoy capturing the changing leaves during the fall as well. Fairfield Lakes park will always be one of our most favorite places to photograph couples as well!It also seems to be a great place to Fish! We always see families fishing in the early AM!
Great little spot to cast a line only had 30 minutes and didnt get one, but saw them out there splashing the surface so theyre out there!
Nice place to take family and young kids. Get spots for kayak entry. Clean, mowed trails that get you around the ponds with some access to the Wildcat Creek. Good fishing spots scattered around the area
Lots of fishing ponds. Clean place. Nice trails.
Beautiful, as usual. Couple of crunched beer cans someone trashed the beauty with. No fish caught today.
Nice place to take the kids fishing and very quiet. Also it has 3 different lakes.
This is a very well kept park with trails and fishing.
Relatively clean and stocked with fish. Very limited shade makes hot sunny days rough here and pretty plain scenery are reasons for 3/5 rating
Fishing from the shoreside is horrible. High weeds in water always cause the hooks to get stuck. Be nice if they had a pier. Not worth the fishing weight you gotta carry to come out empty handed
The park is very clean. My family really like the area. If the bank that I was at had more of the brush removed it would open the fishing areas.
Nice clear lakes, great for kayaking, not so much for shore line fishing.
Pretty lakes and a nice place to take a walk around.
Peaceful and relaxing place to fish or just walk.
Nice place for a morning/evening walk. I visited during Spring. Planning to visit regularly in Summer/Fall.
Beautiful scenery and a great place to fish kayak or take family photos.
A wonderful place if you have a kayak, but overgrown shrubs along the banks leave few places to fish from land
The area is well maintained.
Clean beautiful spot to fish.
Too much overgrown vegetation around the water, but other than that, very good fishing.
Its close, fishing is good, trains are well kept and s lot of them. Many bird species. Just a nice place to go and relax outdoors. I dont recommend weekends. But through the week its quite nice.
Need to clear away more brush from around the lakes banks to be able to move around the lakes better while fishing. Could be better stocked also.....
Love this peaceful place great to fish and walk around the lake
Good fishing but wish they were open later
Great place to go fishing and kayaking...
Beautiful quiet spot to wander and listen to the birds. The lakes are so peaceful and there are benches so you an sit and watch the water and picnic tables scattered so you can have a private lunch if youd like.
Fun for a day of kayaking.
Nice park. Fun to walk and alot of fishing
Amazing dark blue water and plenty of areas to walk
Its very calm although no place to dock a small boat except for a kayak
Great place to take family fishing or even have a picnic. Very beautiful
Nice kid friendly place to fish, but the 8:30pm lock out is too early for summer time.
I was passing through, and I found it a relaxing place to take a walk or sit and think for a couple of hours. I was there on a beautiful Saturday in June, and others were there kayaking and fishing, making the park feel active, but not crowded. In the summer, the park closes at the earlier of dusk or 8 PM, and I lost track of time and didnt realize how quickly 8 PM came up.
Beautiful little park! Definitely worth a trip back!
I love taking my son here to go fishing. We get much needed Mom and son time away from his sisters!
Very nice little park. Has some decent size ponds and a nice little trail around them. Fished a little but didnt catch anything, missed some bites though so there are definitely fish there.
People like to thought there trash in it
Can be a pleasant place surrounded with wildlife
Great place to go out with the family and enjoy some fishing
Awesome place to spend time with the family and go fishing.
Bluegills gotta be seen here! Fisherman prove that they are so blue and plentiful. The lakes are quiet and full of wildlife.
It is beautiful and quiet. Ive taken many great photos here as well that I get asked about a lot. People are surprised when I tell them where they were taken.
The water is nice and clean, and its a quiet peaceful place. Love going out here to let my pups take a little swim. Love watching their feet through the water!Never overcrowded either.
Very nice little park with some benches and picnic tables, easy access fishing, tons of Grasshoppers right now, good for bait, bad if you are afraid of hundreds of jumping/flying insects :)
Has lots of paths. Lots of picture opportunities. Many benches to sit at. Beautiful trees and lakes
Quiet park with four fishing ponds, with close access to the Wildcat Creek.
We come every week to let the dog run. Love the changing seasons. We go early so dog does not freak people out.
Beautiful facilities but access to the lakes for bank fishermen is terrible. Something needs to be done about that.
Nice park. Fishing is so so
Great hidden gem for fishers. Multiple ponds.
Here is very pretty place to go for fishing, I got a big fish here. However, it is difficult to get a any other fish. Overall, it is a good place to visit!
Fish are nice size clean peaceful place to go
Great bass fishing in the early am and before dusk. Beautiful place. Great for picnics and nice walking path
Very nice and quiet place, we didnt catch any fish but still it was great Sunday morning
Beautiful lakes with nice fishing
So so fishing needs stocked boats allowed but done every thing they could do to make it almost impossible to get one in
Good fishing from a boat or canoe
Park closes too early for my taste, and Ive never caught anything worth while here. But! Its an awesome place for small fishing with the family
These ponds use to be really good to fish until the Lafayette Parks Department took over. When Indiana DNR maintained the properties, you were allowed to fish the ponds day or night. Now, park is only open from dawn to dusk, and they do make sure people are out. If the parks department allowed night time fishing, which is the best for these ponds, due to the clarity of the water, then service would be rated excellent.
Great place to fish. Please dont litter, use the trash cans.
Great walking paths good fishing great place for kids to enjoy nature
Could use some structure added to the lake and some fish stocking.
Be a really great place if visitors followed park rules, quit trying to trash it out.
Love fishing here, only problem is fishing is typically only good towards the beginning of the season. Wish there was a catch and release rule here.
This place is great for photography and fishing or just relaxing and watching the sunset. They stock the pond across from the large parking lot with trout each spring as well.
Opens at 6 a.m. Wonderful and clean catch and release fishing. Great place for little ones and families.
Large piles of dog Pooh....dirty and meeting place it appeared for shady activity.
If Im desperate to catch something or if Ive had a long day at work, Ill stop in here to catch and release the small bluegill they have. Ive never caught a decent sized catfish here. The biggest problem is, if youre out to fish in this area, you have to deal with people that have no fishing courtesy. On more then one occasion, Ive had people cast in just 10 feet from me. Its a great place if you want to take youngsters, but if you dont want to listen to kids screaming, or rude people, Id avoid this place like the plague.
I took two of my grandsons, 15 & 18, with me to the north east lake and we had an enjoyable time catching panfish on bemoths and worms. I was pulling in a nice size blue gill every 4-5 minutes!! We did not have a trout stamp so we avoided baiting for them although we enjoyed watching them in the water. Great family place. There were four different families within earshot of use and we heard them hollering every time they caught one!! Great time!!
There were a lot of people, but plenty of fishing spots. Quiet, and nice catches.
The Dayton pits are a good place to go and spend the day fishing and kayaking we always have fun when we go out there
Good place to go and relax. Good fishing and some trails leading to the creek
Fish were biting but too small to keep. Oh Well it was relaxing at least.
Great fishing place for me and my young son to get away!
Its Beautiful and peaceful!! Love fishing here
Great place to have a picnic or go fishing
Very nice and clean water. Good scenery
Peaceful and quiet.
Awesome, see you there
Its a nice little place to go
Always good fishing, lots of decent bass!
Beautiful park for fishing and dog walking
Fishing is hit and miss, decent variety though.
Peaceful, fishing can be hit or miss
This park was great .
Great place to fish, and have a picnic
Good place to rest and be with nature
Great place to walk for exercise and to communicate with nature.
Beautiful place to go fishing and relax!
Beautiful lakes
Caught a small BassReleased it
They dont mow around the ponds all the way so fishing spots are limited and there are a lot of turtles to combat with
