I moved into town about 10 years ago. l would occasionally see bumper stickers on vehicles that said rainbow lakes. looking for a decent lake, I decided to try them out. Went once and never went back. I read that rainbow was under new ownership. also read a few negative reviews (2008)about the lake and the new owners. I had to find out for myself the hard way that the reviews were right. Just returned from the lake. Got there with my wife, bought tickets and proceeded to drive around the lakes to look for a spot my disabled wife would be able to fish. There were weeds a foot tall around the majority of the lake, not including the weeds in the water along almost the entire shoreline of the lakes. There is a speed limit sign at the entrance to the lake that says 8 miles per hour. While traveling around the lake I was stopped by the owner that was outside putting up small wooden shelters for "going too fast" they say that the speed limit is 5 mph even though the sign says different. The Owner had an unbelievably nasty attitude during the confrontation. He started going on about family atmosphere and all the time I could only think that there was nothing family about the way he was chewing me out instead of being more civil in his attitude. They must be really proud in their accomplishments the way he was going on about cleaning up the lake, getting rid of the crack heads etc. BUT HIS MAJOR ANAL RETENSIVENESS will most likely drive off the rest of the customers eventually like it did me today. I proceded back to the entrance/baithouse and explained what had just happened, and got my money back. I also informed them that I didnt plan on coming back until they changed owners again or attitudes, which they said would never happen in either case. that I had might as well look elsewhere. I think that they are right in this reguard. (You are better off looking elsewhere than to have to submit to their extremely nasty unprofessional demeanor. P.S. You might want to read this now closes thread www.ohiogamefishing.com/commu...ainbow+l akes Also I have been to lake isabella that was mentioned in one of the posts. IT IS A NICE lake way better than what I saw at rainbow and worth the extra trip time. the property is inside a state park and was willed to the park by the origional owners but remains a pay lake. very reasonable prices in the tackle shop AND you can rent small rowboats. Bring an electric trolling moter along because all the MONSTER cats are in the far end to the left of the boathouse feeding on baitfish. real easy to find also. just take 75 south to exit 16 ( left off exit) to exit 52 ( right off exit.) the entrance is just to the right after you get off the exit. blink and you might miss the entrance.

There is a lot of super lakes to choose from in the area. I see you have been north and south, try any of the lakes sponsored by CINCY and you will be treated right. Just read the posts here and you will find honest opinions on most of the lakes in the area!

I need to find a place my wife can access. Preferably somewhere that lets you pull up next to the lake. Have a canopy I just made that attaches to the side of my van. woud be a boon to be somewhere that she can drive her chair to the faculties instead of needing to "Break Camp"
