forgot to add , they do cut back the brush along the sides of the lake to make it look nicer but takes away the spots for the bass so i would imagine they are deep. when we rented a canoe there , a few times we hit the bottom with the oar. it is VERY shallow in some areas.
there is a sign on the trail that says what fish are in there. pickeral , crappie , bass , a couple types of cats and something else. plenty of turtles there too.
personally , im not going back. im gonna pay the fee sometime and hit up wheeler/simpkins.
where are you located?
