This is the lake to fish when neighboring lakes turn cold for winter. The lake not only has nice quantities of bass, but quality as well...fish over 5 pounds are common and an occasional lunker exceeding 8 pounds. The marina has boats and kayaks for rent and there are places to camp around the lake. Some of the shoreline is accessible for fishing from shore.
