Boater Reviews
This place is amazing. Make sure you have a GPS. Saw an alligator sunning itself. Can't wait to go back and explore more of it .
Need to restock hybrid white bass and let the hydrilla grass grow that is where the buffet of bait is for all of your game fish get rid of the catfish limit there's more catfish out there than they realize open up the diversion Canal to let natural spawning fish in Terraria Lake
Bates Bridge landing is one of my favorite places to go fishing at nice parking lot and very good boat ramps , I've been use this landing for 25+ years.
Was hoping to fish, however, I have no boat. You do need a boat to fish here, there is no place to fish from land. There is a trail head to the palmetto trail. I did not venture through there so I can't say what you'll find.
Ramp is open again after fresh grading in the parking lot.
