Lakewood Fairgrounds Lake near Hapeville: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Lakewood Fairgrounds Lake is a Fulton County water, Georgia side. Country round the bank runs to pine and hardwood. At 7 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day.

• Where to Fish on Lakewood Fairgrounds Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include goldfish and turquoise darter. Reporting is uneven, so absence from the list means little. Work Lakewood Fairgrounds Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 42°F in January to roughly 80°F in July. Temperatures stay workable through the cold season. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Expect Lakewood Fairgrounds Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. There is somewhere to leave the car, half a mile off. A light spinning outfit with a small box of lures and some bait covers most of what swims here. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. If the gate is shut, Glen Emerald Lake at 3.4 miles is the nearest alternative.
