Lake Executive Summary 

The 1000-acre Carroll County recreation lake project is moving even closer to becoming a reality. Construction on the 2400 ft. long dam is now complete, and three wells are currently pumping water into the lake. Already over 380,000 bluegill, bass, bream, red ear, and catfish have been released into the retention ponds. Fishing will be permitted one year after the opening of lake. The lake is expected to be filled with water in April of 2012. Work is also complete on the Administrative Headquarters, a Carroll County Watershed project that has restored an old home to its natural beauty. Picnic and swimming areas will also be developed in the coming months. Carroll County Lake will be recreational attraction for fishing, boating, skiing, swimming, and picnicking.
