Ridenour Lake & Park
The lake was built in 1970 with a maximum depth of 17 feet and an average depth of 8 feet. Picnic facilities, drinking water, and flush toilets are available. A trail surrounding the entire lake provides bank fishing access.
Ridenour Lake provides spring and winter fishing for stocked trout and a warmwater fishery for sunfish, crappie, largemouth bass, and channel catfish. Trout are stocked in January and March. Largemouth bass fishing is best in the early spring and late fall close to shore while crappie fishing is best in deeper water during spring. Fish attractors (logs and brush) have been placed in the lake and locations are designated with signs on shore.
Fishing times are 9:00 am until dusk, private boats, boat motors, and the use of live minnows as bait are prohibited.
