The cool, clear waters of Puddingstone
Reservoir provide endless water activities. This
picturesque reservoir offers ample opportunities
for birdwatching, wildlife viewing, hiking,
biking and boating and paddling. Over the years,
Puddingstone Reservoir has seen its up and
downs, but it looks like it’s on the upswing
again lately.
The reservoir draws an abundance of park
visitors on hot summer weekends. Personal
water crafts are only allowed in the speed
zone. The speed zone designates fast boating
activities and operates from 10am until
one-half hour before sunset. At all other
times, the speed zone has a maximum speed
limit of 12mph. All vessels shall operate
in a counterclockwise direction. They ticket
violators.
It is a great location to have a picnic.
There are tables for the weekend picnickers,
trails all around for hiking, and the
grounds are well kept and clean for the most
part.
Fishing is also popular at Puddingstone
Reservoir. The reservoir is stocked with
trout in the winter and catfish in the
summer. There are also largemouth bass,
bluegill and carp taken here. Night fishing
is permitted from the shoreline during the
summer. Although Puddingstone Reservoir is
very well known for the quality catfish
produced year-round, trout, bass, and
crappie are also abundant.
