Always muddy water. Turbid lake. Great for watersports & boating. Horrible for fishing! Carp overtook the lake years ago and not enough predator fish so the carp have taken the lake over. Water clarity ranges from 1 inch to 10 inches max in very early spring. Other fish species I have personally caught include largemouth bass, bullhead, channel catfish, bluegill, & black crappie.

Great place to camp or have a picnic. Various larger shelters are available for family gatherings. Outdoor chapel for weddings and easter morning service. Beach is located on the north side of the lake as well as the electric camping spots. Great views and great local people! Humboldt offers a grocery store, dollar store, and gas filling stations. And a few ma and pa shops!
