No maps,It's not your typicalres.Not much in the way of structure.I call them ponds! ;DTheir are two of them side by side and in the spring they release the bows.You might check the odnr for dates but I know the locals do well for the bows,gills,crappie.It is located next to the Co.Hospitalat the south east side of town.They do have a parking lot.I think you can put in a small boat in open water.Sorry I don't know much more about it but that should get you started. :tipup:

yes there is walleye's in them there waters, good luck finding them! there is also some sunken x-mas trees in both ponds. the DNR released some bows last summer while a buddie and I were fishing, but we didn't have much luck. fishing is tough during hard water, but summertime isn't bad when you driftfish. you can get a small boat in both ponds, but there is no launch so you have to drag it up a STEEP hill. hope this helps.
