The lake is really low and the vegatation has about taken the lake.Large trees have fallen across the lake not far from boat ramp which makes it inaccessable by boat.It was a waste of a good morning going there.Shame Wilkinson county residents have to go into another county just to take their child fishing on a Sarurday, with all the National forrest land in this county.I hope HNF can get the residents of this county a small lake in this county in my Life time,,,, Filed By: Joanna Posey (Brookhaven, MS) Number of People Encountered: 0-10 ppl Recommend to a Friend: Neutral Report: The area is pretty grown up and very isolated. We were there on a Saturday afternoon in July and saw no one else although we did find remnants of recent campfires. The lake does have a concrete boat ramp, but it seemed to have been awhile since it was last used. There are currently no picnic tables or toilets and we were unable to locate any entrance to a nature trail.
