The place listed has no fee or opening hours on file: a blank means we hold no such field, not that it is free or always open, and this list may not be complete.

Water and conditions

Water clarity runs 9.5–22.2 feet on our readings, averaging 14.8 feet, from 58 readings. Our water temperature readings average 66°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. pH averages 8.2. These readings span 2017–2022. The latest reading is from 2022, more than three years ago: read these numbers as history, not as the water today.

What is hard here

Only 1 public ramp is on file, so the launch decides where you fish.
