O'Dowd Lake Public Water Access

"11/2/22 Early Sunrise to have breakfast. Relaxing"

"It’s was absolutely beautiful and the lake has such a unique layout with so many islands and bays. Not sure why recreational boaters feel the need to come within 100 feet of kayakers when there was plenty of lake open."

"Great fishing out here; good species diversity. When the lake is calm you can kayak around all day and relax, fish, or just enjoy the scenery. Yesterday I had a loon pop up from a swim ten feet in front of my kayak, and when I fish at night I've heard at least five different Barred Owls chatting back and forth. If you find a good spot and the mosquitos don't tear you apart, it's an awesome place to sit in a boat and watch Mystic Lake's fireworks displays at night."

"Nice lake and nice access point. There's even a nice spot to drop a canoe/kayak away from the boat ramp. The only downside is that there are only a dozen trailer parking spots, and only 3 vehicle-only parking spots. So if you aren't there first thing in the morning it's a gamble if you're able to get in."
