Geneva County Public Fishing Lake Reopens March 1

Geneva County Public Fishing Lake will reopen on March 1, 2023, under the operation of new lake manager Ray Windham. The lake had been temporarily closed during the transition of operations to the new lake manager. The lake is located 15 miles northwest of Geneva at 2308 County Rd. 63, in Coffee Springs, Alabama.

The facility features two lakes totaling 65 surface acres, public restrooms, a covered fishing pier and a boat ramp. Bait, fishing tackle and snacks may be purchased at the lake. In addition to a valid fishing license, a daily $3 fishing permit is required.

Alabama’s State Public Fishing Lakes are located throughout the state and are managed by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) for quality fishing for largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, channel catfish and crappie (in most lakes).
