Getting Outdoors
The vastness of John Martin Reservoir alone is a big draw for fishermen and women coming to the park. John Martin Reservoir State Park campers can easily find an undisturbed spot on the uncrowded lakeside to cast out their hooks. Keen anglers come from miles around to try their hands at catching the wide range of fish species on the lake. Fish species in John Martin Reservoir include largemouth bass, walleye, crappie, perch, and catfish. The bass fishing here is particularly good, as the lake has not been over-fished. The fishing is great throughout the year in John Martin Reservoir State Park, yet ice fishing is discouraged - the reservoir rarely freezes completely.
