Lake Mitchell is a fairly large 870 acre waterbody with about 10 miles of shoreline and an average depth of 12 feet. There are multiple launching areas around the lake, along with residential development and thick forests along the shoreline. The southwest access point is near the campground and has probably the best boat launch at the lake. The lake is popular for fishing and has a lot of wildlife viewing opportunities. Also, be aware of possible algae outbreaks on the water during hot and dry weather conditions.
