Lakes in Benton County
BENTON COUNTY
------------------------------------------------------
Columbia Park Lagoon (7 Acres)
This small pond is located near the Kennewick end of the Highway 395 bridge, near the Columbia Park boat ramp. It opened in April of 1998 as the state's first family fishing water, open to juveniles and licensed adults accompanied by a juvenile. This concept is intended to encourage teaching, mentoring and family activities. The lake will be stocked annually with rainbow trout, and has been stocked with smallmouth and largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill and channel catfish. It has also been selected to receive a bonus plant of large triploid rainbow trout (averaging 1-1/2 pounds apiece). These sterile fish can grow to trophy size if not harvested. Several locally sponsored kid's fishing events are planned for this year.
