North Center Lake

Spanning 749 acres, North Center Lake offers plenty of room and a wide variety of fish species. While you’re on the water make sure to check out Allemansrätt Park, located on the large peninsula on the western side of the lake. It has trails, a historic homestead, and two walk-in, first-come-first-served campsites on its shores. A public fishing dock can be found along the southern edge of the lake, just steps from downtown Center City.

Directions:

Just North of Highway 8 (Lake Boulevard) between Lindström and Center City, travel North on Dew Drop Lane to access the South shore.
