You are visitor to this web site

Marengo Lake is a 40 acre lake located in Marengo County, Alabama, approximately 7 miles south of Linden, near the community of Octagon. The lake, originally part of the State of Alabama's system of County Lakes, is now privately owned by Ann Young and her sons.

Marengo Lake is stocked with Florida bass, bluegill, shellcracker, and catfish. A fishing pier and boats are available. Fishing is limited to cabin guests, and to the family and friends of Ann & Francis.

Francis & Ann Young

Francis retired from a career in the US Army in 1968 and then taught JROTC in Mobile County until 1977. He was the owner of several successful small businesses until he moved to Marengo Lake in 1995. We were deeply saddened to lose him as the result of a tractor accident on September 21, 2007.

Ann is a retired schoolteacher and librarian. She enjoys travelling with family and friends.

Francis and Ann have 3 children; Roger, Tim, and David. They also have 4 grandchildren. Click Here to see Francis and sons Click Here to see Tim Young and David Young Click Here to see Roger Young

CURRENT HAPPENINGS AT THE LAKE:

IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!! September, 2010: The lake is full after last year's break and repairs. We've restocked the lake with bass, bream, and catfish. The cabins are available for rental now at reduced rates. The bass & bream are big enough for catch and release, but we ask that you not keep the bass yet. They're at about the 1/2 lb stage and need a little more time to grow. We should be in full operation Spring '11. Hunters are welcome to rent the cabins during deer season.

Some Pictures From The Break.

There are two private, spacious cabins at the lake. Each of the two-bedroom cabins can accommodate up to six. The cabins are fully furnished and include everything needed for an enjoyable visit. All you need to bring is food, towels and your fishing equipment. In addition, the "bunkhouse" has all you need to accommodate up to 12.
