Nice place to have walk/run. Not to bad for fishing without a gas motor. They need to have like a park type area for maybe like picnics and playground or something for the kids.

Oxbow Lake is a wonderful, serene and beautiful state park lake. There are many fishing spots along the banks, but if you have a kayak, canoe or small boat you'll find some great fishing holes. There is a designated clay pigeon area and plenty of acres for deer and other small game hunting. Locals like to use Oxbow for walking and biking also. Beware, there is no restroom due to some vandals burning down the porta-potty a few years back.

Beautiful nature reserve. Great place to walk especially in the fall. You can spend hours here and it will never get old. I would recommend this place to nature lovers and anyone who just wants to unplug and unwind and be one with nature itself.

Very peaceful, not many people out when we were there. Can't wait to get the kayaks out. Saw some turtles and a snake.

Good fishing but DNR needs to manage better to grow bigger bass. Lots of dinks.

My husband and I go every so often. Less now that we have our own pond but still like to go and cast it out see what we can get. This day I'm the only one that got a bite but there were a lot of people there when we went so it didn't bother us. I won't touch the fish so my husband is holding my catch. But he then had to go home and catch something just so he can say he caught something bigger than me... Lol
