The Lake Preservation Committee of the Town of Highland Lake was responsible for the construction of the first fishing pier, built along the edge of Brashier Creek.  This pier was constructed with money made by the Committee with their weekly breakfast at the Anchor.  The pier was dedicated to Roy Richards, a long-time Highland Lake resident and dedicated fisherman.
 
When it became unsafe to use, the pier was rebuilt closer to the boat launch and a new plaque was added to honor Mr. Richards. Since its move, many fishermen and quite a few sightseers have enjoyed the beautiful view and wonderful fishing spot.
 
A Lake Use Permit is required to bank fish for a daily fee of $3.00 per person or $5.00 for two people..  There are forms and envelopes in the black box on the porch of Town Hall. Please complete a form and place it in an envelope with your payment and drop it in the slot on the Town Hall door.  This way, you can enjoy bank fishing event when the office is closed.   Click here to view the office hours.
