Is there a public fishingpier on Cedar Lake/Spring Lake(Scott County)?

I googled it but got a confussing result. Some said yes while other said no. I started fishing again last year and usually fished at some local lake parks (with restroom and playground) with kids. But I want to venture out a bit this year.

I have not seen a pier on either lakes but I have seen people fishing off of the docks on Cedar quite often. Have you looked for spots that you can shore fish from or maybe buy some waders?

Thanks for the information. I could try to find a spot for shore fishing. It's just a lot easier to fish off a dock if the kids want to go with me.

Lake O'Dowd has a pier. Not sure if it is out yet or not. Also, on Cedar there are two boat docks to fish off of or you might be able to fish from the second boat loading area on the North West side of the lake. Have never used it but maybe is an option to shore fish from.

Good luck fishing.

We've had decent luck fun sunnies right from the access on Cedar lake.

Finaly ventured out to Cedar lake last weekend. Here is what I found out. The lake looks smaller that I thought due to the housing and structure around it. You can fish at both boat launches and some where on north shore. But the spots are very limited. I saw quite a few boats fishing around the lake. I didn't catch or see a single fish from shore though. I still believe it is a decent lake for fishing. To fish this lake effectively, you may need two things: a boat or a friend who lives in the neighborhood to tell you when the fish are biting near shore. I wouldn't bother to go there just to "check it out". Mile for mile, people live in Twin Cities have many other choices. If someone lives in that area, then it's a different story.
