Monroe County State Public Fishing Lake

Monroe County State Public Fishing Lake introduces a waterside outing to a Monroeville journey, with its location clearly outside town. The state places the ninety-four-acre lake west of Beatrice, reached from Monroeville by Alabama Highway 21 and local roads. It is a separate rural destination, rather than a downtown park beside the courthouse.

Outdoor Alabama lists a fishing pier, boat ramp, pavilion and restrooms. Largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish and channel catfish are the stocked species. These facts establish a fishing-oriented public facility; they do not establish swimming, equipment rental or a guaranteed catch. Anglers should check the state’s current license and lake-permit requirements for their own circumstances before fishing.

The published calendar is year-round Wednesday–Sunday, sunrise to sunset, with Monday and Tuesday closed. Daylight is therefore only one access condition: a sunny Monday does not make the lake open. Match the rural outing with that actual weekly schedule.

There is no lake manager on site. The listed telephone is the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries District 5 office in Spanish Fort, which provides information about this property. From Beatrice, the operator’s directions use Alabama 265, then Robbins Street/County Road 50. Choose the lake for a planned fishing or lakeside visit, with the correct entrance and facilities confirmed rather than expecting the services of a staffed resort marina.
