Factoid: Fishing is probably the most popular activity on West Point Lake. A dozen creeks and more
than 40 square miles of lake provide plenty of good fishing spots for the thousands of
anglers who fish here regularly. The lake abounds with bass, catfish, crappie and bream.
Bank fishing is excellent at many locations, including public fishing piers at Hardley
Creek Park, Rocky Point Park, and McGee Bridge Park. All of the piers provide access for
persons with disabilities. Preteens and visitors with disabilities can also fish in a pond
at Hardley Creek Park.
