| NORTH BEND STATE PARK LAKE The lake was built in 2002 with a maximum depth of 36/40 feet and a average depth of 12/18 feet. Two concrete boat ramps and three handicap fishing piers are available. Also several canoe launches. Boat motors are limited to a 10 h.p. Maximum and boater should consider no wake. North Bend Lake provides a warm water fishery for largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, musky, and channel catfish. A catch and release regulation for bass (largemouth, small mouth, and spotted) is in effect. This regulation will be evaluated and changed if and when necessary to maintain good bass fishing. The use of live bait and night fishing is permitted. However there is a 10 horse power motor maximum at the lake. |
