Kennedy Lake is one of Tucson's Urban Lakes and part of the Tucson Municipal Fishing Program. The Lake is located at the J.F. Kennedy Park in Southwest Tucson North of Ajo Way and between Mission Rd and La Cholla. This is another urban lake and does require the Urban Fishing License.
Kennedy Lake is about 10 acres and shallow, with an average depth of only about 8 feet. The Lake is only open during daylight hours and gas motors are not allowed on the lake. Small boats and canoes only and you must have all the proper flotation devices in the boat. Lots of rules here as this is another urban lake, no swimming or wading, leash law applies, no glass containers and so on.
All these small Urban Lakes are great places to take the family for a day of easy fishing. The kids will love it and you get a chance to start teaching the kids about fishing in a controlled environment and they will be able to catch a fish. This lake is stocked with Catfish, Bluegill, Bass, Sunfish and Rainbows in season.
