Fishing Areas/Docks

Bank fishing is allowed around the lake except in restricted areas, swim beaches and boat ramps. There is a fishing dock in Temple's Lake Park with the cost of day use area fee. Frank's Marina in Belton Lakeview Park also provides fishing facilities for a cost. Please remember not to use the courtsey docks at the boat ramps as they are for loading and unloading boats only.

Fishing Tournaments on Belton or Stillhouse Hollow Lakes

All fishing tournaments on Belton or Stillhouse Hollow Lakes are required to have a Lake Activity Permit. There is currently no cost for the permit. The permit is required to assist us with controlling overcrowding of park/lake facilities. Permits are limited and are issued on a First Come First Served basis. The number of permits are regulated through the Belton/Stillhouse Hollow Lake Office.

If you or your organization wish to have a tournament you must request a LAKE ACTIVITY PERMIT by filling out a Lake Activity Permit Form a minimum of 14 days (30 days in advance is preferred) to 365 days in advance prior to the date of the event. Each request will be evaluated for potential adverse impact on public safety, park facilities & utility systems, sanitation and natural resources.

If you have any questions feel free to contact a Park Ranger at 254/939-2461.
