In addition, there is a bank fishing area along the pier near the boathouse for senior citizens, children and handicapped individuals. Hamilton County Park District's largest lake is located in Winton Woods . A hydraulic dredge was used to remove approximately 930,000 cubic yards of silt from the lake, deepening the upper reaches and restoring 37 acres of lake surface area. The lake itself is a cleaner habitat, allowing a variety of wildlife such as fish and shorebirds to thrive. Underwater structures were created to improve the habitat for panfish, bass and catfish.
Fishing is by rental boat.
Both electric and gasoline motors up to six horse power are permitted on Winton Lake. Anglers may also bank fish at Old Mill Valley and at designated areas at Winton Harbor. Several other Park District parks offer fishing and boating recreation. Shawnee Lookout provides a boat launching ramp to the Great Miami and Ohio Rivers. Bass Island, located at Little Miami Golf Center, and Lake Isabella have canoe access to the Little Miami River.
