Dale County Lake Life

Open spaces plus mild winter temperatures mean the great outdoors is a way of life. Dale County Lake, also known as Ed Lisenby Lake, is a 93-acre gem for fishing, trails, and birding. There’s a pavilion, concessions, restrooms, archery range, boat ramp, and fishing pier. It’s the perfect backdrop for family photos or a morning of fishing. Largemouth bass, bluegill, sunfish, and channel catfish are calling your name.
