City Lakes
Lake Michie and Little River Lake will be open for fishing from April 3 – November 15, 2009. Operating hours will be 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Fri-Sat-Sun, until November. Schedules could potentially change later in the season at either or both lakes if required by lake conditions or proposed boathouse renovations.
