• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. A boat ramp sits half a mile away, so trailered boats can get on. A car park lies half a mile away, so the walk in is short. There is a pier recorded roughly half a mile away. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Lake Loretta at 3.4 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat Lake Worth as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
