Please treat with respect the wildlife that shares your lake. Keeping all hooks and fishing line picked up because the hooks get entangled in the bird’s feet & beaks and the fishing line end up wrapped around the birds causing great harm. Due to the over population of geese here at the lake, Ks Wildlife has suggested we do not feed the geese.
Last, speed limit is 10 mph and will be enforced.
