Open Daily: 7am-Sunset Centennial Park has won awards for its natural design and sensitivity to nature. The 337-acre park features a spectacular 54-acre man-made lake, which is stocked by the State Department of Fisheries. You can walk, run or bike the 2.6-mile paved pathway that encircles the lake or the 7.3 miles of interconnecting paved pathway that includes links to surrounding neighborhoods. The park has four main areas: North, South, East, and West, each with a separate entrance. Wildlife: White-tailed Deer, Beavers, Foxes, Turtles, Herons, Winter Waterfowl - American Wigeon, Canvasback, Ring-Necked Duck, Bufflehead, Hooded Merganser, Ruddy Duck and more... Centennial Lake contains an abundance of largemouth bass. Bass up to nearly 7 pounds and a 30” catfish have been caught at Nite Bite Fishing and the Spring Fishing Tournament. Rainbow trout have been stocked into Centennial Lake since 1992 as part of the State's put-and-take trout program. Howard County Recreation and Parks offers a plethora of fishing classes, summer camps, tournaments, and events at Centennial Lake. Let’s Go Fishing, a beginner fishing class great for the whole family, and Nite Bite Fishing, an after hours fishing event are just some of the fishing opportunities. You can also rent fishing boats and fishing kayaks at the Adventure Shack & Rentals in Centennial Park. For general fishing and boating regulations for Centennial Lake, click here.
