Lake Alice is named for Alice O'Brien. In 1945, Alice memorialized her father, lumber baron William O'Brien, by donating 180 acres of his former estate to establish the area as a State Park. This 26-acre lake is as deep as nine feet in some places. Natural springs feed the north end of the lake, keeping it free of green algae during the dog days of late summer. The Lake Alice fishing pier is a popular spot to catch a variety of fish, including blue gills, crappies, smallmouth bass, and white bass. Bald eagles and ospreys often fish along the shores of Lake Alice, so visitors may have some company while fishing.
