Description

County

Formerly a popular camping area, the primary use today is for hunting and fishing. Most of the Lake Considine area is heavily forested and provides excellent opportunities for deer, turkey, squirrel hunting, while the West Fork River and small pond provide fishing opportunities for a wide variety of fish species and pass shooting for early season ducks. Since most of the pond is privately owned, we ask that you respect private property in this area.

Reservation Info

Most of the pond is on private land, so please respect the boundaries.

Completely and Gloriously Primitive

If you're coming out here plan to bring a table. It's that primitive. For us that's great though!! There is a nice lake that is great for fishing, there was access for small boats previously (think kayak/canoe). It is located out literally in the middle of nowhere wrapped by trees on both sides with a cleared out area that you could set a tent or bring a camper if you're ok with no hookups. We love the simplicity and seclusion this area provides. We have never been charged to camp here.
