The Dam at Lake Shamrock
The Dam at Lake Shamrock is a quaint park in Clare, MI known for its water features including a small waterfall and dam, making it a favorite spot for kayaking and fishing enthusiasts. While it offers a pleasant natural setting and is suitable for children, the park shows signs of neglect such as overgrown weeds, some discarded concrete in the water, and areas that could benefit from enhanced maintenance and additional amenities like shaded areas and seating. The park provides a simple outdoor experience with access to water and fishing opportunities.

I went here to go fishing, everything was really clean and it was a nice little place to go, it could use some more shaded areas, but the only reason I didn’t give five stars is because I didn’t catch any fish, just kept losing my tackle on fishing lines stuck at the bottom side of the dam. All in all, it’s a great little place, though.
Love this place. Changed alot though the years. Great fishing.
This lake is awesome. 2 times, I and a friend went out on kyaks the first time he caught a huge pike. The second time, I caught a 5.4lb 23-inch large mouth it was awesome
This could be a very nice park. It’s not big, but it has the water running through there and a little waterfall/dam. They let the weeds overgrow everything and all these pipes (sewer lines?) running all over the place. You have to step over them everywhere. There’s this dumpy tent in the middle of the park that looks like a transient lives there. The water is getting some brown foam and I noticed all the crawfish are dead on the bottom of the lake. There’s absolutely nothing there but garbage and grafitti painted on the sidewalk crossing the tiny bridge. They could put in, maybe a playground, or a couple picnic, tables and barbecue grills. It’s just dumpy anymore. And take the broken up chunks of concrete out of the lake! So sad, there’s not many nice parks in Clare and this is just another casualty.
Mediocre fishing, hit or miss in most spots, gotta get creative to catch em due to this being a high pressured area. Decent scenery though.
