About the Lake
Purcell City Lake is 150 acres of water surrounded by many parks and recreational opportunities. Our docks and jetties and long stretches of shoreline give access to fisherman on all sides of the lake.

A large sand beach is a great spot to tan, play with the kids and go for a swim in the designated swimming area.
