Review:
Lake Geode is a pristine 187-acre lake set in 1,640-acre Lake Geode State Park that was built in 1950 and has been a favorite recreational destination for decades. Named for the geode stone that is found in this area, Lake Geode attracts geologists, who come to see the fantastic display of geodes and the crystal formations set in their hollow cavities. The lake is also well-known for excellent fishing, where anglers may catch bluegill, channel catfish, bullhead, largemouth bass, and red-eared sunfish. The lake has several campgrounds with modern shower blocks, scenic picnicking spots, and several hiking trails that wind around the lake and cater for all levels of hiker.
