Griffith Lake is part of Milford's millpond chain, with a compact public access area and fishing habitat close to it. Bass and panfish are the main targets. You can fish from the bank, but give some thought to parking and launching before arriving with a long trailer.
Lake facts
- Lake size: About 32 acres
- Fish to target: Largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappie and yellow perch
- Depth: Mapped maximum about 6 feet
Where to fish
Fish the bulkhead area and nearby submerged cover with a small jig for panfish. Brush habitat has been installed near the public access, including a marked structure beside the floating dock. Bass anglers can use a weedless worm around the edges of vegetation. The shallow upper third can become difficult to fish when algae and hydrilla are thick.
Getting on the water
The ramp is steep and narrow, with the road close behind it. The small lot holds only a few trailers. Shore access is available along the improved bulkhead and part of Griffith Drive. Keep courtesy docks clear for launching; the current state access rules prohibit fishing from them.
A few things to know
Maximum mapped depth is about six feet. There isn't a large developed recreation park around the lake, so plan this as a fishing or small-boat visit. A short session from the permitted bank may be easier than towing during a busy period.
