Fellows Lake is a water supply reservoir owned by Springfield City Utilities. It was created in 1955 by impounding a portion of the Little Sac River. In 1991, a Community Assistance Program (CAP) agreement was signed with MDC to manage the fishery and provide further fishing opportunities to Missouri citizens.

Waterfowl hunting opportunities are available through the Missouri Department of Conservation's managed hunt process. Shooting hours are 1/2 hour before sunrise to 1:00 p.m. with gates closing promptly at 2:30 p.m. For more details please contact the Missouri Department of Conservation's Southwest Regional Office, 417-895-6880. All other activites must follow park access hours which are sunrise to sunset.
