Life on the Water

Originally three ponds from a creek that was dammed up, the lake is relatively shallow, only six to eight feet at its deepest point. The shallow water makes for a great fishing environment, perfect for beginning fishermen. Anglers can expect to catch blue gill, crappie, northern pike, largemouth bass, and other popular catches. Local and state boating and fishing regulations apply.
