The coarse lake is 2 acres and runs to a maximum depth of 14 feet. It is a mixed fishery with something for the pleasure angler and for those who are after the bigger fish. The lake features a large island and each swim offers a challenge, including shallows, deep margins, varying depths and marginal plants.
There are 27 swims and all have secure wooden or steel platforms. Many are easily accessible by wheelchair.
