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.
