Crowder State Park Lake

This 21-acre lake is located in Crowder State Park, west of Trenton, Missouri. Largemouth bass are numerous but rarely reach sizes greater than 15-16”. However, the large numbers of bass fuel the excellent, trophy sunfish fishery. Most bluegill captured during recent surveys were 7” or larger with 4% of the fish around 8-9”. Redear sunfish regularly reach 9”, and 12% of fish captured were 9-11”. White crappie and black crappie are less numerous but reach sizes of 10-14”. Channel catfish are popular at this lake. They are numerous and commonly range from 16-25” with some fish close to 30”.
