Lakes Snag (20 acres), Swamp (20 acres), and Inez (6
acres) were built in October of 2001 and will be open for fishing in June,
2003. These lakes are full of heavy structure and will test the fishing skill
of all anglers. The lakes are stocked with F1 hybrid bass,
coppernose bream, rosyred fathead minnows and threadfin shad. |

Snag Lake has two large piers. One pier has a 100 foot
long ramp and three fishing platforms...the "party pier." |
The piers on Donavan lakes were build by Manager Wilson
and several young people including Michael Woodfin, Chad and Caroline Wilson,
Jeff Jones, Buck Washburn and brother-in-law W. A. Westerman of Weiner,
Arkansas. |

Heavy structure in Snag Lake. "A
Spider Wire lake if I ever saw one," Manager Wilson |
Snag Lake has lots of heavy cover.
It is a top water wonderland. Good luck on catching the big
one. |
