Crystal Lake Clubhouse

 

Rockville Fish & Game offers to every member, and their family, a wonderful little piece of serenity. Located on Crystal Lake’s south end is a cottage that provides bathrooms, a kitchen, a sitting area, screened porch, a picnic area, a spacious dock, and a rowboat available for each member to use.

If you’re a fisherman, the lake extends a challenge. Bass, trout, and bluegills are abundant. The boat must be signed up but there is plenty of space to fish from the dock. Have your own boat? RF&G rents out slips on its’ dock. There is a boat launch right next to the dock if you care to use your boat, with plenty of parking. Paddlers have a place to store their canoe too. Not a fisherman? There is access to a public beach just a stone’s throw away. Members seem to socialize at the cottage year-round. Ice fishing is becoming very popular. Opening Day starts very early with various activities.

All season long there are work parties and potluck dinners. Thursday nights offer a lot to do at almost any RF&G location. So, bring your family and your friends to a wonderful location to enjoy the scenery and the fishing–most of all remember to observe all boating rules, and play safely.
