Reviews
it’s really quiet and there’s no fish in the lake, no Restroom someone pushed it over, it needs attention, there was a little bit of trash on the ground near the trash can…
The need to weedeat around the lake..i personally have done it several times so my child isn’t in tall weeds …I’ll give it credit for fishing has a great bass population ..the city need to put a dock or something so you can get closer to the middle since no boats are allowed
This hidden gem is located in Oak Grove. Although we didn’t catch anything, we enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful scenery. The dog had fun, too.
Love Fishing here, although there seems to be a lot more water moccasins than normal. My husband and son were catching crawdads and my husband was bit on his hand by a tiny one, about a foot long. My son sw a tiny one before that happened and then I seen one slither through the rocks after that.
Very nice afternoon fishing, caught some bluegill
