Anglers flock to Crab Orchard Lake for its diverse species of fish. The conditions in and around the 6,900-acre lake provide a fertile fishing ground for those who fish its rocky, brushy shores. You’ll find plentiful schools of fish here, such as bass, catfish, crappie, bluegill, and sunfish. It can be difficult to access parts of the shore; however, there are still plenty of areas to enjoy. Fishing from a boat is perhaps the best way to enjoy the lake. There are several areas to launch canoes and kayaks.
