| Edward Medard Reservoir
View Larger Map
Located within a park off SR 60 near Turkey Creek, this 600 acre lake was a former Phosphate pit and formally called Pleasent Grove Reservior. This lake is stocked regularly and also has fish feeders that help ease the pressure of the heavily fished banks and dock. Bass, bluegill, catfish and crappie make up the most catches. Look for local regulations on slot size and boating laws, which are in place and change according to the health of the lake. and its fish.
