BARBER STATE FISHING LAKE
BARBER STATE FISHING LAKE
Land for Barber State Fishing Lake was purchased in 1954 for the lake, and construction was completed in 1955. The area consists of 113 acres of land ( Barber Wildlife Area) and 77 acres of water. The water area comprises an upper land of 26 acres and a lower lake of 51 acres. The upper lake was developed in 1967 by construction of a dike across the shallow upper portion of the original 77-acre lake. Camping, picnicking, and fishing are allowed throughout the area. Two boat ramps are available for boat launching, and boats are to be used for fishing only.
