Can You Fish the Lakes at Province?

Yes. Province's 25 lakes and ponds, about 50 acres of water, are stocked annually and open to residents and their guests for catch-and-release fishing under association rules. Six large waterfall features, a reclaimed-water irrigation system, shoreline paths, and two lakeside picnic ramadas complete the system. A bird walk group and a radio-control sailing club also use the water. Facts are from the Province Community Association.
Fishing
The association stocks the lakes annually and opens them to residents and their guests for catch-and-release fishing. Tackle and access rules are the association's and are published to residents; guests fish with a resident. The lakes are not open to the public.
How the lakes work
The lakes are fed by a reclaimed-water irrigation system and maintained by the association, funded through assessments. Six large waterfall features aerate and circulate. The association reports about 50 acres of water alongside more than 50 acres of turf, which is why Province reads as green from the street.
Paths and ramadas
Walking and biking paths follow the shorelines with seating and viewpoints, and two lakeside picnic ramadas are available to residents. The association publishes a trail map. The Village Center balcony overlooks one of the main lakes.
Groups on the water
A community bird walk group, a radio-control sailing club, and the fishing itself. The association also uses the lakes for events on the calendar. See resident groups and clubs.
Living on the water
About one home in seven backs to a lake, most in the original Engle parcels around the Village Center, and those lots carry a premium in closed sales. The waterfront inventory is described on waterfront homes in Province; the outdoor layout on the lakes and trails; the lifestyle overview on what residents do.
