Jessie Lake is a long drainage lake and considered eutrophic. This means the visibility varies throughout the year. Due to the high nutrient content in the water, there may be an occasional seasonal algae bloom.
Jessie is known for good fishing and being a tranquil lake. If peace and quiet is your thing, look no further.
The public boat access is on the southeast side of the lake located off County Rd 134.

- Swimming – To cool off in the summer, jump off the end of the dock into the shallow waters. There is a hard sandy bottom and it is pretty shallow a ways out into the lake. We recommend staying at least 15 feet away from the reeds to avoid swimmers itch during the warmest months. You can also use a skin barrier such as baby oil or waterproof sunscreen, and shower right after swimming. This only affects some people.
