Archway Lake

Whether you are a serious angler or you simply want to feed the fish from our historic bridge. The Archway’s 15 acre lake offers a refreshing opportunity to get off the road and experience nature.

Fishing Permitted

In the Archway’s lake you’ll find a variety of fish including bluegill, largemouth bass, small mouth bass, yellow perch, common carp and more. Fishing is permitted for those who hold a valid fishing permit. Catch and release is strongly recommended. Other area ponds have more sustainable fish populations and better eating fish. People powered and electric motor boats are welcome. Gasoline powered boats and swimming are prohibited. Access to the lake is admission free.
