Beautiful lake to paddle on. We didn’t see or hear any birds or others wildlife. There should be a sign that highly recommends 4 wheel drive to reach the lake. If you reach the lake and a another vehicle comes in after you and gets stuck, you are stuck.

Hit Prong Lake via Bittersweet last week with a good friend. We threw our tackleboxes at both and came up with only a few small bass. It's catch and release only but you have to be able to CATCH in order to release.
