Review & FAQ:
McDaniel Lake is a 300-acre manmade lake about 5 miles from Springfield, Missouri, that provides water for the city. The lake was created in 1929 by the construction of the McDaniel Lake Dam and the impounding of the Little Sac River. It is one of the oldest dams in the area. No boating, swimming, floating, or dock construction is allowed on the lake, making the lake very peaceful and relaxing. Fishing is allowed off the 50-yard long concrete bridge that crosses the lake at one of its narrower sections. Anglers can expect to catch carp, small and largemouth bass, channel catfish, white bass, and sunfish.
