Just realized that I’ve never fished Mantua in the summer and walked over a few feet of snow to access the lake in the winter. Is there a boat ramp? Is it located on top of the dam area just up from the rest room / parking lot? Can you launch a 15’ boat there? Is there a fee?
Mantua is great for the family in the summer. There are plenty of Bluegils of all size and fun LM around the weeds. There is a small boat ramp on the southwest end of the lake. Try it out and enjoy.
