Great small town lake; only half of it has fish able banks for pond hoppers but the fishing pressure is incredibly high and visitors very frequently litter all over the western peninsula. Roughly 10 clearings around the peninsula for clear casting and the eastern half of the lake, which is only accessible by vessel, has much more fruitful fishing due to far less pressure. Through out the entire year, the lake sustains a high amount of vegetation and that dictates a lot of lure selection. The lake also is home to many-a natural lay downs which make for a lot of nice structure for game fish. Paths are well maintained. Rowing and electric motors only.

You are allowed to fish here and it is enjoyable. Here is a quote from a Sentinel & Enterprise article: "There is a conservation restriction on the land that identifies it for passive recreation — things such as walking, hiking and fishing are encouraged, while vehicle use is not."
