Keep the Boat at the Dock and Sleep In a Little
Anglers don't ask much of a rental, but what they ask for matters: somewhere safe to keep the boat, room to park the rig, an easy early start and a good bed after a long day on the water. Duck Cove covers all of it. There is no towing back and forth to a hotel lot, because the boat stays at the dock, and there is no circling for parking, because the double lot has room for trucks and trailers.
The dock is lit for predawn launches, and a lakeside cabana with a sink and bar top makes cleaning the catch easy. Coffee can be brewing well before blast off, and the gigabit WiFi makes it easy to check the weather, study maps and follow the leaderboard. Many Cedar Creek Lake bass tournaments launch from Log Cabin Park, about 10 miles, or about 18 minutes, away.
On the off days
A Lake Worth Fishing in Every Season
Cedar Creek Lake is known for largemouth bass, hybrid striped bass, white bass, crappie and catfish. On off days, the dock is a fishing spot of its own, and kids can cast right off it.
Bring the family along, too. While you are on the water, everyone else has the yard games, the protected cove and the deck at sunset.
