    If you like fishing this lake has your fish! I caught a seven pound two oz channel cat. My daughter caught a seven pound fourteen oz channel cat two days later! Those fish are a lot of fun to fight and they taste pretty good too. Oh she also caught an eleven an three quarter inch perch! Oh by the way there are walleye white bass, bluegills, paddlefish, bullheads, turtles...a nice boat ramp...

    Beautiful scenery, hiking trails, campgrounds and youth camp. The Tom and Danielle Aman house is absolutely beautiful. Get a pontoon, crack open you favorite beverage, and cruise along the shoreline on calm waters and take in the majestic views.
