The beautiful Lake Carlton serves as the center of this state park. A variety of recreational opportunities from boating to birdwatching are available here. Over 150 different species of birds call this park home. On the ground, you've got a good chance of seeing foxes, coyotes and deer milling about.
Fishing enthusiasts come from miles around to cast lines in Lake Carlton. Here you'll be able to angle for bass, catfish, bluegill, and sunfish.
Use the boat ramp to fish from your own craft. Alternatively, you can set up on one of the lake's nine piers or the shoreline. With almost 3 miles of shoreline here, finding a secluded spot is no problem.
If you're coming here with friends or family, be sure to schedule an outdoor picnic! The gorgeous Lakeview picnic area offers exactly what its name implies. It's a beautiful spot for a meal during the warmer months.
