Red Bridge Bank Fishing Area
Accessible shoreline fishing near the historic bridge site.
The Red Bridge Bank Fishing Area is a highly accessible and productive shoreline destination located where Route 321 crosses the reservoir. This area is famous for its submerged structure, including old roadbeds and bridge abutments from the pre-dam era, which now serve as prime habitat for walleye, crappie, and perch. The site features a paved walkway and numerous easy-access spots for families and elderly anglers. It is a social hub for the local fishing community, providing a consistent and scenic place to cast a line in the shadow of the towering ridges.
