DIRECTIONS:
From Jacksonvile/south:
Travel north on highway 17 towards Maysville there will be "White Oak river campground" on your right after you go through Belgrade. You will cross a bridge and enter into Jones county as you PASS the campground. Look to the right and you will see a white and red "fishing" sign. There will also be a yellow "live minnows" sign under that. Turn right there. It is a dirt road. As you follow it you will see Maysville cemetary on your left. Follow the road to the right. The road will curve to the left about a quarter mile ahead and a two lane dirt path will go straight. FOLLOW THE ROAD!. You are now there! You can let them know at the shack you are with the painting group and you will not be charged anything. If you are bringing someone with you who likes to fish it is $5.00 for the day. No license is necessary if they stay on the 2 private lakes. If they bring a boat, only electric motors are authorized. You can also rent boats there too.
