Local tips

  • The ramp is small and has only a few parking spots, so arrive early on weekends.
  • Average depth is 13 feet and the bottom is mostly gravel, so fish the drop-offs toward the 24 foot hole.
  • Clean boat and gear before leaving. Chinese mystery snails and purple loosestrife are in the lake.
