This is a very family oriented facility. I am a retired Fireman and served in the military and am a very structure minded individual adn this is a no nonsense enviroment that I would feel safe leaving my kids at while I go into the general store they have right nest to one of the three ponds. They also have a biggest fish contest that seems very conpetitive and looked fun. The fish bight on every thing from worms to fish heads. My favorite to use is hot dogs soaked in strawberry koolaid. it sounds wierd but it works great. bait size shrimp is also a local favorite. however if you forget your bait dont worry the sell it right inside the store along with soft drinks and snacks. The state does not require you to have a fishing permit because it is a private facility. The cost is $10.00 per adult per five fish no matter what size up to 15 lb each. the average fish is about 3 lb each however I have caught some smaller and some much much bigger. they stock the ponds twice a week on Fridays and Mondays. Kids get to catch one fish for free with the paid adult so its pretty good spot for big families like mine we are six all together and always catch a huge mess of tasty fish. they will even clean them and bag em for you for a buck a piece.
