Boat LaunchSmall boats/trailers easily launched from bank.
There is a picnic area on the east side of the lake about 300-400 yards from the dam. This property would be a top choice for tent campers. There is a path all the way around the lake that is extremely scenic. You are welcome to walk all the way around the lake. Bank fishing is limited but, there is a 12ft v-hull for members to use. The lake is 1.7 miles from the gate entrance and is a rough road that you will want a truck or SUV (smaller SUVs should be fine) to access. 4 wheel drive is NOT necessary, but having a low-profile car will not work. This lake is perfect for someone looking to get away from it all.
*** About 3 to 4 times a year the owners neighbor fishes the lake unannounced. We regret that this might be on a day you are fishing. He does not use the club boat. It is rare that he is here the day you have booked. But, please know that this may happen.
***DO NOT HARVEST ANY BASS AT THIS SITE. You may still remove any crappie, carp, and catfish caught and report them to the club office through the online reservation system after your outing***
Requirements
Rough road. Smaller or luxury cars not recommended. Ground clearance is needed, SUVs will be fine. The road back to the lake is long with several cut backs and several other roads crossing the path to the lake. Do not bring boats larger than 17 feet as making the trip to the lake with a trailer in tow would be difficult around a couple of turns. It takes at least 10-15 minutes once you access the gate.
***DO NOT HARVEST ANY BASS AT THIS SITE. You may still remove any crappie and catfish caught and report them to the club office through the online reservation system after your outing***
DO NOT APPROACH ANY DEER STANDS OR FEEDERS. STAY AT LEAST 100 FEET FROM ANY STANDS OR FEEDERS. THERE ARE GAME CAMERAS AND YOU WILL BE CAUGHT. IF CAUGHT YOUR MEMBERSHIP COULD BE REVOKED.
General Directions
1 hour and 15 minutes NW of Downtown Fort Worth. Half way between Jacksboro and Bowie.
