Downey Wilderness Park Lake
NO FLOATS, NO BOATS!!
General Location: Large Print Thomas Guide pp 706 90240-E-5. This lake is just off Florence Ave. (the address is 10999 Little Lake Road) heading west after just getting off the northbound 605 Florence offramp. The park is right under the shadow of the freeway. The entrance is very easy to miss.
Size: The lake is 1.1 acres in size.
Open: Year-round. Entrance- Free Open to fishing sunrise to sunset.
Parking: Free The parking lot has around 50 spaces.
Fishing: Free You must have a fishing license (DFG). This is a real cement pond and I advise fishing only at or after plantings. Catfish and Trout in season. I'm sure they also have carp. I believe they have a no overhead casting rule or at least they did at one time! More crowded than the piers???
Other: Well lighted with fising from both sidewalks and grassy banks. There is a smaller pond but I don't think it is planted unless its by bucket-biologist.
If you have further updated info, they would be greatly appreciated.
