Going in June to Panther Lake camp resort. Looking for any info. I have a scanoe with a small electric motor. Would like to fish the lake or if theres anything nearby. Can i put my own boat in there? Whats in there? is this a private lake? Can I keep fish out of there.....Im thinking trout. and anything elese would help. thanks

Completely private lake - no idea whats in there or the rules - best to call the campsite and ask ahead of time.

Camped there a few times and caught some decent bass and pickerel. I rented a boat when I camped there. I think it's stocked with trout but not sure if done by the state or not. There's a small beach there you might be launch from but like Jim said best thing is to call and check first.

Cruiser, not sure much of what is in Panther, but Cranberry Lake is about 2 minutes south on 206 from Panther Lake and a pretty good variety of fish in there. 5 minutes further up 206 is Aeroflex which is stocked with trout and salmon, plus three other small ponds in that park.

I camped there many years ago. It had pickerel and bass.

You can think of it as two lakes - almost an hourglass shape.

The first lake by the beach and boat launch is deeper, the back one shallow.

When I was there it was midsummer and fish held deep in the day and moved up shallow (back lake) in the evening. A nice amount of structure, docks, weedbeds, etc.

You're also going to be about 20 minutes away from Swartswood (walleye & bass in the big lake, muskie in the little lake) both are electric only.
