This 25-acre lake was constructed around 1907 as a water supply for Cameron. This lake is surrounded by 23 acres of forest and old fields and sits adjacent to two additional city reservoirs (see Sunrise Lake and Eagle Lake). Century Lake provides fishing opportunities for largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, and channel catfish. Channel catfish are stocked periodically by the Conservation Department.
