WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Benton Park Lake is a small urban fishing pond in Benton Park, St. Louis, Missouri, managed as part of the Missouri Department of Conservation Urban Fishing Program. MDC stocks the lake regularly with largemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish, and hybrid sunfish to maintain quality fishing in one of St. Louis's historic neighborhood parks. It is part of a network of nine city lakes providing free, accessible fishing for St. Louis residents without the need to own or rent a boat. Spot Features: Benton Park Lake is a small urban pond within Benton Park in the City of St. Louis, Missouri, managed under the MDC Urban Fishing Program. The pond features grassy banks and vegetated margins accessible entirely from shore. Bluegill, hybrid sunfish, and bass congregate near the bank structure, lightweight spinning tackle with small jigs, worms, or crickets works well for panfish, while soft plastics and small crankbaits cover the bass. The central St. Louis location makes it one of the most accessible fishing ponds in the city for walk-in anglers. Seasonality: Largemouth bass are the primary sport fish at Benton Park Lake year-round, with the most active feeding in spring when fish spawn in the shallows. Bluegill and hybrid sunfish are consistently catchable throughout the warmer months from spring through early fall, with the best panfish action in late spring during the spawn. Channel catfish feed actively through the warm summer months and into fall. The MDC Urban Fishing Program stocks the lake regularly during April through September to maintain quality fishing.
