Small lake, with a boat ramp, and a boat dock, to fish off!!!

Very quiet, with beautiful picnic and camping spots!! Very reasonable, day use fees @7$2.00 per person to fish, $5.00 to launch your boat. Location is Very Informative, as you drive in, there are signs with the '800' # to get a fishing license, or) permit. There is an 'Honors Box', and envelopes provided, for on site payment, for fishing or boating. Very Quiet and Peaceful, this could change, as we arrived at 1:00 A. M.!! 😁💖
