Outdoor Activities
As the weather warms many people start preparing to pull out their fishing rods and head to the water. Once they have cast their line they will relax, exersise patience, make memories, and hopefully be rewarded with a nice catch as they enjoy the outdoors.
Star Fort Pond is a populare fishing spot for many locals and other visitors from around the state. Open for fishing from April through October on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturday some of the species found in the pond are largemouth bass, bluegill, shellcracker, and channel catfish fishing.
