McNeely Lake
McNeely lake is an excellent location for kayaking. The lake does not allow gas powered boats, so kayakers can enjoy smooth, easy paddling. We have recreational kayaks, fishing kayaks (like the one pictured), and canoes. Panfish, catfish, and bass are all abundant. You must bring a fishing license to fish. We have rods and reels for rent, but you should call in advance to reserve.
