Beautiful lake! This lake is a Sports Fishing Conservation area, if I’m not mistaken. I have been out here quite a few times and have caught a few bass. Nothing big yet but I have seen some very large bass in the lake. I also think it’s spring fed, because they water is crystal clear throughout most of the lake. It’s a fairly shallow lake too. The biggest issue with this lake is the lake vegetation. During the summer months the vegetation grows uncontrollably. It’s very difficult to kayak and fish on the lake due to the vegetation growing so rapidly. Even in a boat, you run the risk out getting tangled up in the enormous amount of vegetation. Be mindful of that! Oh yeah, and there are some large gators here too.

I love Carr Lake. It is delightfully wild. I used to fish for schooling bass there many years ago with my husband when I was young. Now, I take my little Chihuahua down there with me to the landing and we pick up water plants for my two natural aquariums. It's a lovely landing. Nice little fishing dock. Great little place to take children to teach them how to fish! There's nice shady picnicking area as well. The county keeps it up really nice.

A very nice small lake, lots of bass action, nothing real big but lots of fun , be sure u have weedless baits as there is lots of vegetation. U don't need a big boat a row boat would work. We used a bass boat but never started big motor. I here from locals there are some big bass living here and by looks and 2lb fish action I think any cast could be a giant
About Carr Lake
Nestled in a serene and lush landscape, Carr Lake offers an enticing escape for those seeking a tranquil outdoor experience. Renowned as a Sports Fishing Conservation area, Carr Lake invites anglers of all skill levels to engage with its plentiful bass population. While avid fishers are often rewarded with dynamic catches, it’s the chance of hooking one of the lake's rumored giant bass that keeps enthusiasts returning. The lake's crystal-clear waters, likely spring-fed, further allure visitors for various water activities, although its dense vegetation, particularly in summer, requires some navigation skill. A perfect spot for a family outing, Carr Lake provides a charming dock and a scenic picnicking area under ample shade—ideal for teaching children the art of fishing. While the boat ramp and fair parking make it accessible, visitors should prepare for the lack of amenities like toilets or running water. Despite its natural challenges, which include large gators and overgrown aquatic plants, Carr Lake remains an enchanting venue for those willing to embrace its wild beauty.
