Concerts on the lake

On July 28th, 2024, the first of three concerts was held on High Rock Lake in "Little Crane Creek" from a private dock, known as "The Point." This event and future concerts are an outgrowth of a gathering that took place on "Goat Island" several years ago. Check out the video below to see clips from the first two concerts of this year and learn about how it all started.

Summertime Crappie Fishing

Summertime is crappie time on High Rock Lake. The fish move out to deeper water and congregate around submerged structures like trees and stumps. Fishing guide Shane Walser has mastered the art of using modern electronics to find fish and in the video below he shares tips, tricks and techniques to not only find them but to catch them. If you want to fill your cooler, he'll show you how.
