Cedar Lake — Local services in Goshen Township

Cedar lake is a Fishing pay lake that stocks trout during the cool spring months and also channel, blue and shovel catfish throughout the year. They have cash lotteries for the biggest catfish of the day, first cat, etc. The BIG cats belong to the lake and are catch and release after weighing them. There are contests for different fishing rodsets and other items also. The channel catfish and trout are catch and keep. Entry is $20/per adult with a two rod limit. I'm not sure but I think 3 or 4 trout is the limit per ticket and then another $20 has to be paid which is the only gripe many of us have. They have, bait (USUALLY but not always), lures, snacks and soft drinks. Everything is overpriced compared to Walmart or Lake Isabella, which is where many people get their supplies before going to Cedar. Cedar lake's main attraction is that you can drive your vehicle around most of the lake so that it's nearby.

I've been fishing there for over 30 years, we always catch nice fish. There will always be trips you only catch a couple, but most of the time leave happy. Nice bait house with a decent selection of live bait, about any tackle you might need. They have a nice selection of new rods reels, also a case with used reels. They also have inside bathroom, kitchen with hot food, snacks, drinks. Family friendly of course...

Neighbors to the lake. Know the owners/crew who works there. Great people. They do a great job maintaining their reputation and the image of their beautiful lake. Always busy, and they do a lot of things to keep the interest. I never see a slow day at cedar lake! They respect everyone who lives around this place and keep the problematic people out. I'm glad to have them in...
