Angling at Craigavon City Park Lake South

The lakes were designed as features in the large city park. There are facilities for boating and other water recreation activities.

The car park at Craigavon Watersports Centre is closed due to construction work.  Therefore the nearest car park for anglers fishing at Craigavon City Park Lake South is off roundabout nine on the Portadown to Lurgan road.

Facilities for people with disabilities see below

Facilities for people with disabilities

A level tarmac path from the Water Sports Centre car park runs round the lake. Angling from wheelchairs is possible around the harbour area. The path is not close enough to the water's edge elsewhere for anglers in wheelchairs. Access is good for anglers with difficulty walking. Get more details:

The water holds good stocks of fish. As it is man made and very uniform in depth, there are a few underwater features where shoals naturally gather. It is also weedy and is not attractive as a match fishery. There are good-sized pike, but due to lack of underwater features these can be difficult to find.
