St. Louis Ponds Recreation area.
Ponds 3 and 6 adjacent to the main parking lot are stocked with trout. The road to the parking lot is open year-round with a new automatic gate on Tesch Lane, which leads into the ponds from St. Louis Road.
CAUTION: The new gate is open from 6 am until 7 pm Oct. 1 through March 31/ 6 am until 9 pm from April 1 through Sept. 30. Be sure to be out before the gate closes.
St. Louis is unique because it offers fishing year-round for both stocked trout and warm water species.
To get to the St. Louis Ponds complex, take River Road N out of Keizer about 12 miles, then turn right on St. Louis road. Take Tesch on the right just after crossing the railroad tracks.
Or take Highway 99E north to the light at Douglas Avenue NE and turn left through Gervais, after that it turns into St. Louis Road. Turn left on Tesch just before the tracks.
