Kemp Lake

Fishing and Hunting Programs for People with Disabilities

Kemp Lake Game Preserve is a unique environment that has been thoughtfully planned and built to allow disabled and handicapped individuals a complete outdoor experience. We host events for individuals, groups, and non-profits. Our events can include:

  • Guided fishing (bass, bluegill & crappie)
  • Guided hunting (deer, turkey, quail & pheasant)
  • Guided bird-watching excursions
  • Guided exploration in electric vehicles

Annually in July, Kemp Lake does a one day fishing event called Cast for Kids for youth with disabilities. Guided hunts can be arranged, or plan a relaxing picnic by the lake or a stroll down a trail. Contact Kemp Lake to make arrangements for your visit.
