    It is really hard to find much info on Wes Watkins lake. I used to fish it a lot but it has been several years. I can’t find what the fishing/boating fee is now and how late you can fish. Before we always had to leave 30 minutes before dark. I like catfishing there but the cost became prohibitive. I have heard it went down but can not confirm it. I usually go some place else because I can’t find the info.

    @ Chantz
    We were there for a little while this past Sunday and we saw different campers with campfires. I cant for the life of me remember if each camp site had a fire pit though. Do you happen to know that?

      Most sites have temporary fire pits that have been dug by past visitors. You are welcome to use those at any time as we are not currently under any burn bans. Thank you for checking! Please feel free to e-mail us at recreation@dobsonteleco.com!
