A friend ask me a nice, good place to go fishing. I told her about Little River fishing facility. We drove out here but they were closed. It a gorgeous huge lake, the sun bounces off the water, the trail to the dock is a short walk from where you check in. The cost is great, just make sure you have your fishing license. The Staff is very helpful and friendly!

If anyone goes swimming during a rain storm, its a pretty good chance those folks will get wet. Thank you

I took my grandson out fishing, and he had a great time out on the boat and of course he was able to catch some nice bass. I would recommend this fishing facility to everyone.

One of the best hidden gems of living in Durham. I still remember all the nice weekends in there over a fishing boat and heading home with full bucket of fish. The motor is new and nice, but battery runs out faster than expected. The ranger said that the water level is low recently, so the propeller may stuck into the bottom and drain the battery quickly. After switching to a new battery, I was able to get my boat crossing the bridge and far away to places without anybody else. One catfish bite the bait and was pulled into my bucket. I started to worry about battery life and tried to go directly to the dock. With the dock just around the corner, the propeller hit the bottom and does not run any more. I had to pull the oars and started to learn to use them under the direction of the ranger on the dock. Fortunately these are not hard, just good exercises. One issue of the things here is there is no place to buy minnows any more. I ended up with Night Crawlers. Even that is from a gas station far away. Probably somebody can point me to a closer place with minnows and I can prepare better next time. And it has to be a cooler day with higher water level!
