Quarry Springs is a popular fishing destination because of its good shore fishing.  Crappie and bass are frequently caught.  The west and north lakes get to depths of 35-40 ft deep.  The east lake can reach depths of 60 ft.  We hope to get the lakes gridded out soon.

​

The types of fish caught that we see are the following:

• Black Crappie

• Bluegill

• Largemouth Bass

• Channel Catfish

• Yellow Bass

• Gar

• Sheephead/Drum/Buffalo

• Carp

• Walleye (limited)

​

The South Skunk River has flooded into Quarry Springs last in 2013 so naturally you will find the same fish in both.

​

We do allow bow fishing at the park.  We appreciate an email or FB message from you if you plan to be boating at night for safety reasons.

​

There is no ice fishing at Quarry Springs Park.  Please see our published statement for more information on the reasoning behind this decision:
