The lake is periodically stocked by the Department of Natural Resources and the fishing is good. Activities include: non-motorized boating, hiking, biking, fishing, and leisure activities. Home of the Annual Family Fishing Day each spring on Good Friday, Curtisville is loads of fun for the whole family!
