Evans Lake this evening, Riverside - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Yes, as you pull into the park there is a boat ramp. The city just built a new boat ramp at the end of the park, but honestly there are so many parking spaces the back into the lake and could launch from there. I may be there again tomorrow.

Be safe and good luck.

Since I was there last, there is an ongoing fish kill. I paddles this morning and thousands of crappie and fry litter the lakes. There is also an algae bloom (duckweed), the carp are dying, and even the crayfish are crawling out of the water.

Oddly, catfish were in the shallow area dying and this man jumped in with a plastic bag to scoop up as many as he could. I presume to eat.
