Only cool people seem to like it.

Okay, okay – we admit there are some cool people who don’t fish. No matter where you stand on the cool-not-cool issue, Spring Lakes is the best place to go fishing. Bring your dad or grandfather. Bring your kids. Bring your mama.

You have a shelter and standing grills, restrooms, and plenty of room to spread out. That means you can go from hook to plate to your belly all right there. Have your family bring all the fixings – potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw, sweet tea – and you have yourself a bona fide summer cookout.
