The two lakes near the Welcome Center have been stocked with bait fish in preparation for the delivery and stocking of black bass in the early fall.

Thousands of minnows and other bait fish were distributed and will be given time to flourish prior to the introduction of bass. All the lakes within the community feature sub-surface habitat structures and specially selected aquatic plants to provide an ideal environment for bait fish and an attraction for game fish species such as Florida hybrid largemouth bass and channel catfish.

Once the black bass have arrived, the small lakes — designed to resemble old-fashioned fishing holes — will feature catch-and-release fishing, as will the main lake when completed.
