About Wellsville Lake Conservation Area
From Wellsville, take MO-19 south, then County Road 21 south 1.5 miles, and County Road 27 west 0.25 mile.

This area is mostly forest with some old fields. Facilities/features: boat ramp, unstaffed shooting range, Wellsville Lake (14 acres).

This 126-acre conservation area was donated to the Conservation Department in 1959 by the City of Wellsville. This community lake, originally formed by two clay pits, has depths from 80 - 100 feet in the deepest portion. The lake receives annual stocking of channel catfish and also supports good populations of bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, and green sunfish.

The balance of the area is a combination of forest and brushy areas, which supports moderate populations of small game species.

The area offers an unstaffed shooting range that was built in 1975, making use of soil excavated from the clay pits. From Wellsville Lake Conservation Area web site
