Great place for walking and relaxing by the lake. Most people dont know about the trail in the back through the woods to adjoining subdivision.

This is a small park where basically the big lake takes the entirety of it. Therefore, its a good spot for fishing, or sitting and admiring nature on a beautiful day, but it doesnt offer much more than that. Still, it is a peaceful and beautiful spot.

This is a great place to picnic with kids, the lake is super shallow so I dont have to worry about kids falling on etc. There are always people fishing and walking around the lake! Its an amazing place to spend the afternoon, or even stop on the way home to get some peace and quiet :D

Nice park with a nice lake in a nice city in a nice state in good country in a decent continent on the greatest planet in the world.(?)

Real nice layout and a fair challenging course from the White Tees ... The lies in the fairway were phenomenal from tee to green with no reason not make pure contact ... Only complaint is there were NO Igloo water coolers on the entire course, and when its over 80° us players need to rehydrate .. Ill definitely play it again and again

My family has been going here for 40 years! Not the best fishing but enough to entertain the kids. A beautiful and peaceful place. There are picnic tables and a couple grills making it a nice place for a family picnic. Only real negative is that there are no bathrooms. We always drive down to the mcdonalds if someone needs to go.

Been coming to this fishing hole for years. Great time with family and friends. The little ones can catch gill and craps, the adults can go for bass and occasionally perch. I love this little lake.

I like the panfish ( bluegill ) etc. The bass are nice but it would be cool if there was some northern pike walleye and salmon catfish some bigger fish. Do that it would be awesome

I grew up going fishing and taking our dog here. Its nice to go there and do the same in my adult years.

Every time I go to the lake, the same family of 3 or 4 are fishing for the bluegill and I think I seen some perch in there bucket. The thing that bothers me the most is they also use a net. I try to get to the lake 1 time a week to fish for bass. I usually go Fri thru Sun. What ever day I get time. THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE . What are the bass going to eat. These people have got to be damaging the lake. Just last summer alone I seen them take over 200 fish out that lake. Its probably more then that since I cant go everyday. My daughter wanted to go up to them to ask them if they even had a license to fish. All Im tring to get across is that Troy might need to post Rules of the lake as far as fishing regulations and take some type of action. Im definitely thinking about calling the police next time I see a bucket full of fish. I can see taking a few home to eat but these people treat the lake like its there personal fish market. Its SAD!!!!!!!
