Fishing for warmwater gamefish such as bass, bluegill, crappie and catfish can be very good, especially early and late in the day in spring and summer. Look for them near downed wood and along the edges of weed. This is one of the best places in the Valley to fish for large crappie. It was stocked in late May with about 500 hatchery trout.
This waterbody consists of three interconnected ponds and features some good size bass and crappie. The largest pond on the west side of the highway is only accessible by boat. A boat ramp is available at East Freeway Lake, and there is some bank access around East and Middle Freeway Lake.
