  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. A car park sits roughly half a mile away. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Lake Greenwood State Park is 2.9 miles off.
