About 15 sport fish species can be caught
in Lake Springfield. Fishing is allowed either from boats on the water or
from any public portion of the shoreline. All fishers and their lines must
remain at least 100 feet away from any leased residential property unless
permission to fish closer has been given by the lease-holder.
Fishing is NOT allowed from the shoreline of
Lincoln Memorial Garden. More information
about regulations relating to fishing on Lake Springfield can be found on
the Fishing Rules page of this website.
For the convenience of fishers, there are
two posted public fishing areas: at the Dividing Dam and the Sunset View
Fishing Area (on East Lake
Drive just south of the zoo turnoff). In addition, there is an unposted
fishing pier between East and West Tom Madonia Parks, which is also
designed for persons with disabilities. Fishing is NOT allowed from the
shoreline of Lincoln Memorial Garden.
