With about 70% of its shoreline under the control of the United States Forest Service and undeveloped, there’s a lot of natural area to explore. In recent years, many new homes and properties have been developed, adding to the growing importance of Lake Nottely for recreation. - Finding the Right Fishing BoatBoat fishing is the next logical step for anyone tired of casting from the river bank or lake shore.
