I brought my dog on the beach down the road and got a lot of dirty looks and apparently beaches aren't dog friendly for some reason. So a lot of people had a lot of dogs here walking around. They had two Porta potties that are not well-maintained. You can walk along the walkway, they have a few regular porch swings and a few kids swings. There wasn't any grass for dogs to go to the bathroom which would've been nice.

Note that you cannot fish off the deck. Why have I not visited this lake before?? I have passed by it several times and decided to stop and enjoy my breakfast here on a gloomy morning. The lake has benches on the grass near the shore, ample parking, trash cans, lost and found, restrooms, water fountains, dog waste stations, posted rules, weight scale, and marked trails. The retreat center has a large, clean deck with picnic tables and umbrellas. The deck provides a beautiful view of the lake and plenty of bird sounds (mainly from the geese). Inside they have resources and reptiles. Excellent area in Holly Springs to learn, exercise, fish, and appreciate nature.

Don't have a tackle box? Not a problem at Lakeshore. Mike, the owner and fishing expert, helps you with everything you need to get started. Very affordable for a family outing, and there are two large ponds, so it is never "too crowded." It was only $6 per person to fish all day. Forget the Blackberry at home, but not the fishing chair. Take a day and try something different at Lakeshore Fishing.

This park is at the end of a gravel and dirt road. It features a large covered picnic shelter and access to the lake for fishing. There is no swimming here and there are no boat launches. But you can bring a chair and sit by the water with your equipment. See if you're able to outsmart the fish. The park shelter can be reserved by contacting the County parks department.
