Nice quiet spot

Great spot for largemouth bass, carp, some pickerel, bluegills, and probably some others. In a quiet neighborhood with decent parking by the tennis courts. Easy to access the shore, but a boat would be best. There are no ramps but two spots to launch in. This lake was almost extinct so everything is catch and release. Best action seems to be by the island in the middle of the lake and the two boat launches (one of which has a pretty recent downed tree that offers some great coverage). Not worth driving a huge distance for, but if you’re local (ish) definitely check it out.

I live next to it it’s so calming and and there’s a huge snapping turtle in there so do not catch it or else I will take your lure or else I will take your fishing rod because I cut the thing in my fishing pole fell but I got my fishing pole back and I was struggling for my life but then my pool broke but it’s really messy but it’s a nice peaceful calming spa spot so I really really recommend you to go here just to let you know I’m warning you do not catch the turtle
