Green River Lake

Green River Lake State Park provides excellent opportunities for any water sport. You and your family also can enjoy a swim at the sand beach or a round of mini golf. The park also includes planned recreation for camping children. The park also includes twenty-eight miles of multiple use trails for hiking, horseback riding and biking.

Fishing

If you're passionate about fishing, Green River Lake contains spotted, white, large-mouth and small-mouth bass as well as crappie, bluegill, muskie, catfish, walleye, and freshwater drum. Green River, which provides the inflow to the reservoir, holds several fishing records. Esker Carroll pulled a 97-pound flathead catfish from the Green River in 1956, and in 1980, Larry Cardwell caught a 38-pound freshwater drum. The last record was broken in 1999, when Norman Moran caught a 15.08-pound bowfin in Green River.
