Fish
The basins and surrounding waters hold a surprising variety of fish species.
The basins contain Large and Smallmouth Bass, Northern pike, Walleyes, Suckers, Bullhead, Carp, Crappies, Perch, and Bluegills.
Seasonally a wide variety of Great Lake Trout and Salmon species enter the basins and are seen jumping through the water.
Anglers use the park year round, including a die-hard group of ice anglers who are out even on the coldest days.
The Park is also used as the release site for the annual SturgeonFest (DNR/RiverEdge Nature Center), where roughly 1,000 Lake Sturgeon fingerlings are placed into Lake Michigan as part of a restoration initiative.
A fishing license is required for anyone aged 16 and older. It is required that anyone fishing in the park follow all state licensing and regulations. Stamps or special licensing is required for some species, such as Great Lakes Trout/Salmon.
