There are a lot competing uses on this lake,. Bass fishing tournaments are common , water skiing and other tow behinds ar frequent and un-organized fishing is prevalent, PWCs (and I am not going to get on soap box here) and pontoon party boats are all competing for limited resources. Most of the boaters are OK., . I am writing this a point of view of a kayaker. I own a substantial fishing kayak and I am appreciative that on weekends there is a 10 mph speed limit before 10 AM. This is not a place for a camouflage kayak, The North Pond has the benefit that PWC's are not permitted and is smaller so high speed boats aren't as prevalent. Once 10 AM comes , I am just not comfortable on this lake and I leave, But until that time it is awesome for the fish and quiet,

There is a small hill leading down to a nice boat ramp. The parking lot is paved with marked spaces for vehicles pulling trailers, and non-trailer vehicles. There was one porta potty and I found it to be clean. I was there on a weekday when kids were back in school, and found it to be quiet with very little activity, but I was told it can get very busy in the summer on weekends.

Either yellow like grain of rice type or tiny black spots in meat. Do not eat fishes caught at rainbow reservoir! If you like fishing, I am sharing my fishing spot especially because I need to write good & useful Yelp reviews :) My spot is to the left of the rainbow reservoir boat launch. The boat is infrequent but the jet ski is a bit annoying to fishermen. However, the spot is productive if you can cast far enough, there is a steep drop off that goes down about 15-20 feet, all kinds of fish there. I've taken my kids there many times, caught sun fish, bass, carp, catfish etc. all at the same spot. Don't eat the bass!!! High Mercury content. Ok to eat sunfish & carp, but carefully check the fish for parasite as I've seen them last year, they look like little grain of rice but yellow in color, yikes! Other than that, it's really fun spot to take the kids & you can BBQ right there as well!

Your swimming/beach area isn't even open (and hasn't been in several years), so what are you doing with this money? You offer absolutely nothing and a boat launch should be free. Honestly pathetic.

This review is for the fishing aspect of Lake McDonough. The water in this lake is extremely clear…read moreand there are steep drop-offs, so naturally, the fishing can be very difficult. Also, the place seems to have a lot of bass in the 1# to 1.5# range. They can be fun to catch, but it would be nice to get some larger ones once in a while. Never caught a trout here, or seen one follow my lure, for that matter. On the positive side, the launch is great, your boat will come off easy. $6 to launch and another $6 to park. Lake is never crowded with boat traffic, no water skiers or jet skiers, which is also good. Very scenic too, just wish the fishing was better, because I only live 4 miles from here. FYI, alcohol is not allowed, they will search your cooler. Gate opens at 8am on weekends, 10am on weekdays (which I find a tad late being a fisherman, but it is what it is).
