Location: Pyramid State Park is located south of Pinckneyville in Perry County. The Captain Section is accessed off Panda Bear Road. From State Route 127, head west on Pyatt-Cutler Road. About 6 miles west of Pyramid State Park, turn north onto Panda Bear Road.

Description: Snow Goose Lake is a 60-acre strip cut located in the Captain Unit Pyramid State Park. There is no boat launch on this lake yet.

History and Status of the Sport Fishery: A supplemental electrofishing survey conducted during 2008 indicated that a variety of fish species are present in this lake. A good population of largemouth bass was reported. Because this lake does not yet have a gravel or concrete boat launch, access with an electrofishing boat is relatively difficult and another fish community survey has not been planned.

Additional Lake Information: Note: There is no motor HP limit, but all boats must be operated at no wake speed.

Largemouth bass: 5 fish under 14” and fish 1 over 18” limit, 14–18 inch protected slot (no possession)
