Review:
Council Bluff Lake is a 440-acre body of water in southern Missouri at the eastern edge of the 1.5-million-acre Mark Twain National Forest. With dense forests providing shade along its banks, a 13-mile-long network of trails for hiking and biking, and plenty of fish in the clear mountain waters, the lake is popular weekend and holiday spot.
Chapel Hill Beach is a nice sandy beach where kids can swim from May through September.
There are a variety of campgrounds, so you can rough it in your tent or bring your RV. Anglers can expect to find abundant redear sunfish, largemouth bass, channel catfish, bluegill, and crappie.
All boat launches can be found on the southern and northern ends of the lake.
