What visitors say
Mostly positiveDiascund Reservoir Park features a well-maintained boat ramp with easy access and clean facilities, including a map at the entrance showing designated fishing areas. The reservoir is a large body of water suitable for kayak and canoe fishing with electric trolling motors only (no gasoline engines permitted), and visitors consistently report good fishing opportunities for bass, bowfin, pickerel, and other species in relatively clear water. The park prohibits swimming and pets but offers plenty of space to fish from both boats and the bank.
