McAlpine Lake & Park

Super trashy place for how expensive it is. The staff were going around setting off fire crackers for fun. Which scared my kids enough to make them want to leave. There were kids behind the trailer they are living in not being supervised with a whole thing of lighter fluid and told my daughter they were going to make a fire. Almost got ran over by a guy on a tractor. Not as stocked as they claim i... Super trashy place for how expensive it is. The staff were going around setting off fire crackers for fun.

My family and I walked in and weren't even greeted. The old man in the front stated that to be able to enter the property was a total charge of $40 per person and that anything caught over 4lbs was $10 charge per pound. That is ridiculous as the state license fishing fee for a year is $62.00. Its astonishing the greed that these people have. The only good thing I can say about this place is the e...

The only good thing I can say about this place is the exit sign that I used to leave the property. Besides that it looks to be a simple lake. 🫤

Horrible experience for my first time here, and very angry management. Temu Santa Clause rolled up in his little car while I was getting ready to fish and said “What do you think you’re doing here?” To which I said I’m going to pay to fish. He then berated me for 2 full minutes about “who gave you permission to be here” and “how did you get down here” while I continuously apologized for the misun... Horrible experience for my first time here, and very angry management. Temu Santa Clause rolled up in his little car while I was getting ready to fish and said “What do you think you’re doing here?” To which I said I’m going to pay to fish. He then berated me for 2 full minutes about “who gave you permission to be here” and “how did you get down here” while I continuously apologized for the misunderstanding. I explained it was my first time here and I’m not from the area. 2 full minutes of berating before finally telling me that fishing is only open from Friday-Monday. All that….just to tell me they were closed for fishing for the day. It’s not like I snuck in and stole anything. The park was wide open, and I parked my truck and grabbed my gear, only to be stopped and lectured by a man on a tiny power trip over the rules of his tiny RV kingdom. It was my first time trying to fish this spot, and I won’t be going back. $40 a day to fish is insane anyways, especially when there’s a trout stream a few miles up the road with steelhead. If the owner responds to this with some self righteous “well, this is actually what happened”, don’t believe it. This was a terrible experience and I DO NOT recommend taking your friends or family here to this run-down RV park with its angry Santa Clause manager.
