I go here a lot to stretch the legs and do a little fishing but rarely catch anything. Still very relaxing and great scenery so its still worth visiting just to walk the trails around it.

What a beautiful place this is! We were on a road trip from Oregon to South Carolina and was desperate to see something other than just the road and traffic. We found this place on the map and decided to visit. It was a beautiful crisp fall day and the reflection of the fall leaves from the trees on to the lake was stunning! We were so glad that we found this place. It really refreshed us and got us ready to go back on the road.

Beautiful lake. People are gross and have destroyed the rest room, but overall a great place to fish or hike! Wish they still had boats to rent!

This is a beautiful lake in a serene setting, and has a boat ramp, in addition to docks which are available for fishing. Theres a small picnic pavilion, as well other picnic areas. The restrooms are open even in cold weather, but they dont have sinks or running water. Well definitely be back to visit this park in warmer weather.

Have caught a lot of smaller crappie and several catfish. Watch another gentlemen catch two bass that were well over 6lbs. The lake has some trophy fish but it is heavily trafficked so you tend to catch smaller fish it seems. Good place to take kids though because of easy of access.

Nice lake with an unexciting trail as well. I had read that row boats were available for renting, but none were within site of the parking area, which was a little disappointing

Typical MO Conservation Dept lake. Nice boat ramp and fishing docks. Smelly privys. Mediocre to poor fishing. But its close to home and sitting in a boat drinking beer beats going to work.

Beautiful place to take a walk or go fishing. Or just to sit and take in the scenic views! You can also rent a boat and paddle out onto the water. Can also bring your own boat and go out on the water as well. Nice large docks for sitting and fishing or taking in the view.

HIKING trails! There is a great 5.8 mile hiking loop around the lake. Follow the “shoreline” trail. It’s a recently cleared nice wide trail. A good place to get away that’s not far from Columbia. I don’t know what the guy was talking about snakes in January? We saw lots of ducks and deer.

I love little Dixie. Great place to fish and hike and parts of the area offer some hunting opportunities. It is snake infested however, which I think is pretty cool. If your there at the right time of the year in the spring and in the right place you can witness thousands of water snakes mating. They make the water boil! I witnessed this one time with my father when I was around 14 years old.
