Open year-round, sunrise–sunset for fishing
Use the current DNR page's sunrise-to-sunset fishing schedule rather than older documents that describe 24-hour access. Primitive camping, the firearms range and managed WMA activities have separate rules and may affect the visit.
- 195-acre managed fishing lake
- Accessible dock, parking and restrooms
- Boat ramp, canoe access and primitive camping
Before you go 
- Visitors age 16 and over generally need a qualifying license or Lands Pass for WRD property access unless an exemption applies; a Lands Pass alone does not authorize fishing.
- Fishing hours are sunrise to sunset. Check current creel, bait, boat and immediate-release rules before arriving.
- Primitive camping and the firearms range follow separate requirements. Check alerts and managed-hunt activity before a quiet recreation visit.
