Marion County Public Fishing Lake will temporarily close on February 1, 2018. The lake will reopen in the following weeks under the operation of new lake manager Barbara Goggans. During the closure, anglers looking for a great place to fish can visit Lamar County Public Fishing Lake in Sulligent, Ala., which is about an hour drive southwest of Marion County lake.
