Piney Reservoir's surface area is 120 acres with a maximum depth of 35 feet. The upper, shallow end of the lake has heavy growth of aquatic vegetation during the summer months providing habitat for many of the lake's panfish. In the lower half of the impoundment, an area of standing timber creates excellent largemouth bass habitat. Freshwater Fisheries has also placed numerous pine trees at strategic locations to provide fish-holding structures that are accessible to anglers.
