Well over 100 miles of shoreline outline Lake Hamilton, a 7,200-acre lake located mid-state, immediately south of Hot Springs. Areas of the lake are developed with residential and commercial properties, while many other areas are natural settings with greenery and rolling hills. Boat ramps, marinas, rental boats and handicapped-accessible fishing piers are open to the public. Over a dozen popular fish species reside in this fertile fishery. These waters have more fish per acre than any lake in the state. Bass, stripers and wipers get a great deal of attention here, but there is also good fishing for crappie, catfish, trout, walleye, bream and sunfish.
