  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Mapping shows parking within half a mile. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Failing this one, try Kanaka Lake, 4.1 miles away. Nothing on Horseshoe Springs should be assumed from this page alone.
