Killen Pond
We visited Killen Pond and stayed for a week in one of their cabins.  It was a most enjoyable stay.  The cabin was comfortable and the park surrounding were amazingly beautiful.  We had access to a paddleboat and dock which we used every day in addition, we brought our bikes and took a bike ride every morning.  We loved it and would highly reccommend it to couples or family vacation....

Bowers Beach

As a child, I spent some time at Bowers Beach with my neighbors, the Boyce family, who owned a big house right on the beach. I doubt if that house still stands but it still holds fond memories for me and my family....

Haven Lake

My wife and I retired here to Haven Lake, we have renamed it ''Heaven Lake'' It is quite peaceful and a fisherman or nature lover's paradise.  The fish jump right out of the water! I am not kidding you.  The species of birds and wildlife are amazing. My wife and I take an early morning boatride and seldom see another boater. It's like having this beautiful 82 acre premier fishing lake to ourselves.  We respect and appreciate every inch of it....
Haven lake is a great lake i would know its right by my house you can go boating or you can fish off of the bridge!!!!!!...

...worked thoroughly with these same lures, and then you should back off and work the same area, a little further off shore, with a Rat-L-Trap in Chrome/Blue, and Crawfish patterns, and a Spinnerbait in shad or Bluegill colors, slow rolled on the drop-off. The areas by the floating docks in the middle portion of the lake is also a good choice for small straight tailed worms rigged with a 1/8 ounce bullet sinker, or a Senko, with no weight. Work them slowly around the floating docks and in the coves here. The Tournament frog has taken some large bass from the pads also, and shouldn't be overlooked later in the year.

''Equipment''

You should have a spinning rod in a 6 and 6 1/2 foot length, for the Senko and small grubs, worms, etc. It should be a high modulus graphite of good quality such as G. Loomis, and have a quality spinning reel geared at 5:1:1 or 5:3:1 . You will also need a 6-6 1/2 foot baitcaster, that you can get in close under the overhanging branches with, and a good Crankin rod in 7 foot length with a medium and a med/hvy action. A good quality reels geared in ...
