Endless Opportunities

At 2000 acres and a depth of 48 feet, Lake Coleman is vast, making it incredibly difficult to run out of things to do on it, or places to explore.

There are three boat ramps, with two main ones located near Press Morris Park. There are picnic and camping sites, as well as a marina and bait store. However, there are no boat rentals and the area is not ADA accessible.

The lake is well known for hybrid striped bass fishing, especially during the summer and early fall. Largemouth bass fishing is best from September through May. Flathead catfish can also be found on this lake.
