Pinewoods Lake Recreation Area
Next to the 31-acre Pinewoods Lake visitors can experience the quiet, calm of the Pinewoods Lake Recreation Area. Spend an afternoon exploring along the 1.3-mile walking trail around the lake, catching site of woodducks and beavers. Anglers can spend a quiet day on the lake looking for the perfect bass, sunfish or catfish. For those who prefer firm ground to boats, an accessible , floating fishing pier is available. The dense woods that surround the lake and recreation area offer visitors a sense of seclusion and privacy amidst the oak, hickory and pine trees.
