Wellen Park: A few days ago, we finally got around to checking out Wellen Park, located west of River Road, off US 41. We were pleasantly surprised by what we found.

Oscar Scherer State Park: We reserved the coldest days of this fall so far to camp and fish somewhere local that we could go to without a lot of driving. Oscar Scherer State Park was a good choice.

Here is our advice for anglers returning to this pristine area after the upgrades.
