Conditions : Martin Lake - Trout fishing has picked up quite a bit. Power bait and worms are bringing people the most luck. There were several reports of trout being caught from the south side of the lake as well as the west side. Boat traffic has been minimal. The lake will be completely closed to all trailered watercraft beginning November 1st, because it has an invasive plant, Eurasian Watermilfoil. Remember to discard of any plant material found on your boat, boat trailer, and fishing hooks away from the water before you leave the park to avoid spreading this plant.

Horseshoe Reservoir - Fishing activity on Horseshoe has been very slow over the past week due to the cold weather. There have been a few people fishing from the north side and there have not been any boats to speak of. Expect to see the dock pulled within the week. Boat inspections will continue to be conducted until October 31, when the lake will be closed completely to all trailered watercraft. Hunting season has begun. Pay special attention when you are recreating on the west side of the park near Horseshoe, as this area is currently open to waterfowl hunting.
