Forbes Lake of the Ozark Park has 3 private lakes and one pond dedicated for the  Landowners use and enjoyment. Each lake has a common area with picnic and sanitation facilities.  Boat ramps allow access to the lakes from these common areas. Several lakes have fishing platforms, or you can fish from the bank in the common area. Properties around the lakes are owned by Forbes land owners and is considered  private property. You can also fish from your boat. Outboard motors are not permitted, but electric trolling motors can be used. Portable toilets are provided during the summer months at each lake and at Turtle Pond.
 
Private, peaceful and quiet!
 
In past years, we have added structure to our lakes, silver shiners, Grass Carp, Minnow Houses, and treated them when necessary to prevent excessive algae buildup.

We can be proud of our lakes as they are clean, healthy and offer a quantity and variety of fish.
 
Be careful, enjoy and help us preserve what we have.
