Anyone can sail or fish on either Forest Lake or Hazel Creek Lake with the proper licensing and permission. All hunting and/or fishing within the state of Missouri requires a permit from the Missouri Department of Conservation. Certain boats require a boating permit depending on the specifications of the vehicle. Learn more about the state's requirements for hunting and fishing permits or boat permits online.

The City requires you follow state law in these matters. Additionally, if you wish to sail on Forest Lake you must acquire a boat permit from our Parks and Recreation Department. Contact the Parks and Recreation about Forest Lake boat permits at 660.627.1485 or online.
