Clara Meer was created for the 1895
Cotton States and International Exposition. The lake is routinely
stocked with fish, including Large Mouth Bass, Crappie, Bream
and Catfish, and attracts anglers of all ages.
Since Piedmont Park Conservancy renovated Clara Meer in 2002,
fishing in Piedmont Park is even better. The new bridge unifies
the two parts of the lake into a single body of water, an
aeration system improves water quality, and three new fishing
piers and the dock make it easier than ever to find the right
spot.

"As a native Atlantan, I have many fond
memories of Piedmont Park, from swimming in its pool as a child,
to smooching while parked with my girl friend as a college student,
to attending the arts festivals as a young husband, to making decisions
on its management as mayor of the city. In that last role, I recall
specifically having the lake stocked and inviting young and old
to fish from its banks, which had previously been prohibited."
Sam Massell, former mayor.
