Yes, kinda... it's just a bank launch but there are 3 of them. Only one is large enough for vehicle/trailer launch. It's not a real big lake and is posted Electric motors only. I was told it was originally made as a wild life area, so electric motors only and no swimming. It is a rather shallow lake, deepest is 24 ft. in the center portion and very weedy. Great bass habitat... lg / sm mouth, some pike and perch, catfish and of course the ever breeding sunfish and bluegills.

Yes, but it's a small, and muddy.

I didn't think you even noticed Randy. The one on the side w/pavilions isn't really a launch, people just use it for that. The better two are on the east side of the lake across from where we were.

Well, there went my situational awareness down the toilet. I didn't even know about the other two.

Well see there, I even pointed them out to you when we were talking about launching your boat or leave it on the trailer until needed...sheeesh!

If you're going to ignore what I say, we will have to get married...:p

id rather not show pics of my catches...lol

theres a beached whale a few miles from me though,does that count? what if i take a grapple hook and snag it,is that catching it?
no offense to PETA.(P.I.T.A.)

still intend to go +1-4,they'd be mostly in it for the fishin tho,and a slight (yet growing) interest in carrying,though they're currently more interested in CC over OC...i feel it'd change though with exposure to it.
