DINING

Come visit us by land or water and grab a bite to eat at the Snak Shack, our new dining facility located right on the water. At this time, we are offering a limited menu for take-out only. We do have limited outdoor seating, but we are not offering indoor dining at this time. 

FISHING

Fishermen casting their lines can anticipate catching largemouth, smallmouth, spotted or white bass. They may also catch crappie, walleye, or bluegill along with channel, bullhead, and flathead catfish. We have wonderful walkable shorelines for bank casters. Our coves and points are a fisherman's dream, and we have year 'round fishing. Those needing a fishing license may purchase one at the marina store.

If you are looking for a fishing guide, we recommend Gary Stanton. You'll enjoy your day of fishing for sure!

Sarah Knetzke, age 9 of Ozark, MO caught this 6.1lb (15-1/2" girth) largemouth in one of the coves near Stockton State Park Marina on July 2, 2011. She caught it using her Scooby Doo fishing pole, 10lb test, and a nightcrawler/bobber combo. What an awesome catch!
