Little Compton Lake puts public fishing on the Grand River side
MDC describes Little Compton Lake Conservation Area in northeastern Carroll County as a lake-and-Grand-River public land area.
On the north bank of the Grand River, Little Compton Lake gives northeastern Carroll County a public-water note that is not the Missouri River story. The conservation area includes 1.5 miles of river frontage and a 40-acre lake managed for public fishing.
The fish mix is broad for a small lake: largemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish, crappie, carp, and buffalo all belong in the area description. The upland ground has a different job, protecting the lake’s watershed and supporting upland game.
Treat this like an MDC conservation area, not a town park. The area map, posted signs, and MDC regulations are the working guide for the lake, the river bank, and any hunting ground around Little Compton Lake.
