Fishing access at Carpenter Lake is currently restricted due to fishing pier repairs. For everyone’s safety, the southern trails—leading to the dam site fishing platform—are also closed.
🛠️ What You Need to Know:
✅ The park will remain open during construction.
🚧 Southern trails will be closed for visitor and worker safety.
🌳 Northern trails (from the parking lot to the lake) will stay open.
Thank you for your patience as we restore this favorite fishing spot!
A new pathway now links the Nine Mile Road sidewalk to the park, offering easy access to the picnic shelter and playground. Additionally, construction has begun on a $7 million renovation project. The plan includes a redesigned entrance, parking lot, playlot, restroom facility, picnic shelter, and the replacement of the old maintenance building.
Stay tuned for more updates!
