My friend and I booked a package deal with Boyette's Resort to stay there for 3 days and get a boat…read moreto take out each day from Bo's Landing. The first day we get there we check in, drop off our bags, and then headed to the landing to get a boat to fish. We got there at 2:30pm and the lady who greeted us asked, "You're just now getting here?" I asked if that was a problem, and she told us that they closed at 6:30pm. I thought that 4 hours was plenty of time, so I told her that we would be sure to be back by 6:30pm. We then went outside with her to get a boat. There were 2 there. One was a 3 seater, the other was a 2 seater. Neither were ready to be taken out. The 3 seater had several gallons of water in the back that had to be bailed out. I don't think they had a pump, because the lady was using a 16oz styrofoam cup to try and do the job. She walked over to the other boat and radioed someone inside asking if it was ready. I heard someone reply back that it was. She looked down into it and said out loud "This one hasn't even been cleaned out from the last trip!". Remembering the comment she made at the start about it being late in the day, I told her that we'd just come back the next day and try again, no worries. The next morning (5-26-24) there were tornado warnings/sirens from around 7am until 9am. There were heavy thunderstorms from 9am until around 1:30pm. Remembering the comment the lady made the day before about the time, I didn't think it would be a good idea to try and rush them again. I went to the resort office to ask if we could just cancel the boat from the package and bank fish, since that's what we had to do the day before on account of the boat not being ready. She said that was news to her, since in her agreement with them they should ALWAYS have a boat ready for her guests for the day, regardless of when they showed up. She said she'd call them and ask if we could get a refund for the boat and just not use it. We went bank fishing at a nearby park and I got a text at around 2pm. It was the lady from Bo's Landing asking if we were planning on taking the boat out today. "No ma'am. It's a little late in the day". I didn't hear anything back. I then went back to the office at Boyette's Resort to ask if she was able to talk to them about the refund. She said that Bo's Landing wouldn't issue us any refunds, and the lady told Boyette's Resort the only thing left to do the day before to hand the boat over to us was for her to start it up. That was not true at all. After hearing them tell Boyette's that, we decided to leave that evening after we were finished bank fishing and to not return to Bo's Landing. I am not sure what the cost of the boat was, but we were never able to take it out at all, and still had to pay for it.

The jumping Asian carp kept everyone entertained. The season for the sunset cruise ends in early September; however, there are cruises scheduled in October during the White Pelican Festival, which sounds like so much fun!

Edmund Orgill Park was opened in 1972 and is managed by the Shelby County Conservation Board, a…read morecitizen appointed board of the County of Shelby government. The park is named for Edmund Orgill (1899-1983), a progressive Mayor of the City of Memphis in the middle of the twentieth, who fostered better race relations. The Orgill name has been a fixture on the Memphis business scene for nearly two centuries, and Orgill Brothers (Orgill Inc.) is the oldest running business. The hardware distributor was founded in 1847 when the city was less than thirty years old with a population of less than 10,000 citizens. Orgill Brothers sold about anything a pioneer family would need. Orgill Park is composed of 440 acres of rolling meadows, lakeside vistas, paths and shady spaces for all kinds of outdoor recreation enjoyment. Casper Lake is a 67-acre centerpiece for fishing and boating activities, allowing kayaks, canoes and fishing boats (non-motorized except for trolling motors). There is a fishing pier and the lake is stocked with largemouth bass, bream, sunfish, and catfish. There is a boat launch ramp with ample parking for trailers and guests. All TWRA rules (including fishing permits) apply to the use of Casper Lake. A 1.2-mile road meanders through the center of Orgill Park and around the east side of Casper Lake connecting Mudville Road (on the north side) with Kerrville-Rosemark Road (on the south side). There are acres of open spaces throughout the grounds for free play and any leisure activities, such as bicycling, jogging (a 5K Trail), walking, yoga, kite-flying, disk tossing, etc. Three covered pavilions with picnic tables are available for rental. A 2.84-acre pond is stocked during the Winter months with trout. [Review #698] (22nd Review of 2023)

Well they have a boat ramp into the water. They have a golf course..that's it..No picnic area, no bathrooms, no playgrounds..so we went on down the road to where it dead ends and loops into a parking lot area at the lake.. That's it.. I really wouldn't call it a State Park. There is some historical value here but NO signs or trails..nothing to tell you about it. I guess you have to look it up on the internet to find out any information about it. The lake was pretty though and we did stop to take a couple of photos and saw a guy in a row boat catch a fish.. Maybe there is something we missed? We will have to check it out another day..
