About this property

FISH from dock/ Covered boat slip- on Canal to Lake Santa Fe

Clean, comfortable, and very quiet. This may not be flashy, but all the comforts are there. Lake Santa Fe is truly a renown Mecca for all types of freshwater fish and wildlife.
There are two public boat ramps nearby, with a covered boat, slip only steps from your door. Don’t let the seasonal duck weed in the canal scare you away, it’s harmless and floats away.
