ダコタ郡の湖・トップ20

Lake Thomas Fishing Pier offers a mix of shore fishing and small watercraft access in a compact, weed-prone lake. Within the park, anglers can use a large fishing pier and several developed shore-access spots. There is no trailer boat launch, so getting on the water is strictly a carry-in situation for canoes, kayaks, or small inflatables. Seasonal timing matters here: to avoid the worst of the weeds, fishing is typically best in early spring or late autumn. During the peak of summer, anglers should focus on deeper pockets or the edges of the lily pads, where fish are more likely to hold. You’ll primarily find Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, and Black Crappie in this lake. It is considered a decent spot for bass fishing, with most fish measuring between 10 and 14 inches, though local reports occasionally mention bass reaching 16 to 19 inches. Panfish, including Bluegills and crappies, are plentiful but tend to run small, often in the “potato chip” size range.

Thomas Lake is bordered on one side by private residences and on the other by Thomas Lake Park. The park features an excellent network of trails and picnic areas, as well as a public fishing pier and access for small watercraft.

Nice view over Black Dog Lake, not many birds out today

Love this park especially the bike path and the archery range

This new version of the bridge is so nice, the old one was super warped.

First lake in the chain of lakes when paddling. Also a nice lake to walk around year round.

Fun bike with my family. Lots of wildflowers and different birds to see. Awesome views!
