What a great place to take the family to fish, my boys had an AWESOME time and can't wait to go back for 2013! more

Seems everyone feels the same about rainbow. I was just trying to pick my son up from fishing all night when a man in his late 30s or early 40s working the gate told me I needed to offer him something sexually to get in. I immediately pulled out of the lot and phoned my son to walk to the road. He belongs in jail. Guys watch out here, your girlfriend wife or daughter may fall victim to this CREEP more

I'm not surprised by the reviews at all.... Ken is a psycho, and the other Childers were the trash of Northridge.... He's got a short fuse, and seems to think he deserves to be treated like the President of the U.S. because he works stocking fish at a pay lake!? Go figure.... more

WE GOT DIRTY LOOKS SOON AS WE WALKED IN. THEN FISHING WAS GOING NORMAL KEN CAME UP ON THE FOURWHEELER AND STARTED TALKING TO MY WIFE. THE NEXT THING I KNOW HE STARTED HITTING ON HER. I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES. i TOLD HIM WE WERE MARRIED. AND HE GOT OFF HIS FOURWHEELER YELLING AND SCREAMING. HE DROVE OFF ALL PISS OFF AND CAME BACK WITH A HALF A DOZEN PEOPLE AND START GIVING US A HARD TIME SAYING WE BOTH HAD AN ADDITUDE. WE PACKED UP ASAP. MY WIFE TOLD THEM THEY WERE TRASH AND KENS MOM THOUGH IT APPROPRIATE TO CALL HER A N*GGER LOVER AND GET IN HER FACE. WE BOTH WERE THREATENED NUMEROUS TIME AND WAS TOLD THAT ARE KIND ISN'T WELCOMED. Pros: GOT OUT ALIVE Cons: GOT BELITTLED BY TRASH more

Owners are very rude, have to say though, I never met people so mean and rude right from the start. I asked simple questions about the paylake trying to get more familiar and the female owner around 40 years old had smart a** comments for everything. They were just dirty looking people. After the conversion went south I told them to get *uck. The old prune looking mother with 2 teeth, of the witch owner looks like shes been road hard and put away wet. THESE PEOPLE WOULD BE MILLIONAIRES IN HOLLYWOOD IF THEY WOULD MAKE A ""WRONG TURN 4"" MOVIE.. This place wont last to long... more

I dont know who is writing the good reviews about this place it has to be the new owners their selves. This is the worse place I have ever visited.The owners are rude and disrespectful to the customers.The place is nasty,they leave dead stinking fish laying on the banks for days.The restrooms are nasty and never have toilet paper. They allow underage kids in there with beer and drugs. These people say they are there for families. That is a huge LIE. Don 't ever take your children to this place. you will regret it. I know from going there with my kids.NEVER AGAIN WILL I SUBJECT MY FAMILY TO THAT KIND RUDENESS AND DISRESPECT. The owner is rude and unappriciative of his customers. You are continuously harrassed by the owner and he has his kids harrassing the younger kids that are there. We payed for our kids to fish and they were told by the kid there that they could not fish. They also have a child at the gate checking vehicles for fish. They have been reported to the authorities. I don't wish anything bad on anyone but I hope they close them down. The old owners were better and nicer. Try triangle Lake better fishing and nice owners. You can enjoy yourself and get respect there. Pros: absolutely nothing good about this place Cons: everything more

Boy friend and his son went fishing there and on their web site it said that the price was $12 and that vets got 1/2 off ,but when they got there the price was $13 and they did not honor the vet 1/2 off said that it was not on their web site ,but it is.They should honor what they put out there.I guess its all about the money. Cons: rip off more

The owners are disrespectful. I am 11years old with an injured leg so my dad parked on a flat area to benefit me. They threatend me and my dad because our car was parked to close to the lake. We were atleast 2 car lengths from the lake and had been parked there for 6 hours and my mom was sleeping in the car. He yelled at my dad and told him that he was ignorant for parking there and he did not care that I was in a wheel chair or not. He said that i didn't belong there if I couldn't walk to the lake. That woke my mom up and she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Not knowing that guy was the owner, my mom asked him what is the problem and he told her to shut her mouth, this is my lake and left. My dad moved our car but the owner still would not leave us alone. He came back 5 minutes later with atleast 8 people and the three girls started yelling at my mom and the guys harrassed my dad the whole time he was packing up our fishing gear. We were planing on spending the night but we had to drive over an hour to get back home at three o'clock in the morning. I was really scared! I never imagined someone could be that mean. They kicked us out and taunted us the whole time my parents packed up because of were we parked our car.DONT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON RAINBOW LAKES. They seriously have anger issues. more

We got kicked out of the lake at 2am this morning for parking our car where the owner's son thought to be breaking the rules. We saw no signs stating where to park or not to park. The ticket said parallel parking only and we did parallel park. We had a disabled child with us and parked the best place we thought would give him easy access to fish and have a good time. The owner's son came around told us we broke the rules and move our car now or he would move it with his bobcat for us after he tour it in half. We moved it but he continued to taunt us and say things. He even went as far as to say that my nephew didnt look too disabled to him. Even though he can only walk with crutches and has a cast up to his knee. He left and we thought the issue was over but he returned with 11 additional people, including his mother who wanted to confront us about disrespect. She stated that one girl in our party came to the bait house 4 times to purchase items and she smiled at her and she didnt smile back. She was being kicked out for not smiling back because that is also disrespectful towards her as being the owner of the property that we payed to fish on. WE WILL NEVER SPEND ONE MORE HARD EARNED PENNY AT RAINBOW LAKES IN FAIRBORN OH. THE MANAGEMENT SAID THE DONT CARE OF THEY LOSE CUSTOMERS THAT DONT GIVE THEM RESPECT FOR BEING OWNERS. Pros: I FIND NOTHING GOOD NOW THAT THEIR IS NEW OWNERSHIP Cons: NASTY DISRESPECTFUL UNPROFESSIONAL HOSTILE MANAGEMENT more

Rainbow has a new rule , you pay and return the keepers. Not anything like it use to be. ,nasty bathrooms and rude managment! Pros: Example: best croissants in town Cons: What are the drawbacks? more

The lakes look good they have spent a fair amount of money to clean up and build up. But the stocking and the attitudes you get from the owner and the workers not good Yes they can be friendly and helpful. But there are days lots of days where their attitude is not good. and i wonder with their so called stocking is that how we pay for it. when you ask about the stock !!! let the lies begin they must not realize fisherman talk no matter who it is black or white we talk.so when you say we stocked on friday and i am talking to a fisherman who was there and leaves because he was there friday didnt catch a fish and is there on saturday thinking your going to stock and you are not .That aint right. the previous owners stocked good and there was no limit. maybe no limit did them in i dont know. but now there is a limit and the stock is weak at best. I wonder the great reviews i see DID THEY COME FROM THE OWNER AND HIS FAMILY.? ME AND MY MOM 65 WOULD COME HERE EVERY OTHER WEEK FROM CINCINNATI SHE DOESNT WANT TO COME BACK .I WILL GIVE IT A TRY AGAIN BUT IF THE BEAR GETS ME AGAIN I WILL GO TO INDIANA tHE CATFISH LAKE THERE IS NO LIMIT . AND I AM POSITIVE I WILL CATCH FISH THERE. I USE TO CATCH FISH HERE ALL THE TIME NOT BACK TO BACK TO BACK SKUNKS. Pros: cleaned up real good Cons: dont plan on catching any keeper fish more

me and a good friend went to rainbow lakes on august 1, 2008 and had a great time and great fishing experience. we caught some real good cats. we met the new owners and were treated really well. the lakes are clean, the grounds are well kept and met some real good people there. in fact we are gong back on the 8th of august and are really looking forward to catching some more fat cats Pros: clean water, well stocked, good people Cons: i only wish it were closer to where i live more

I moved into town about 10 years ago. l would occasionally see bumper stickers on vehicles that said rainbow lakes. looking for a decent lake, I decided to try them out. Went once and never went back. Pros: You can go somewhere else and not bother with them more

it is the best place to got its a place for familys its a place for fun go to rainbow lakes most fun place on earth Pros: thumbs up more

THERE WAS NOTHING FAMILY ABOUT IT!!!!!!! THE PLACE WAS GROSS! I WATCHED THE OWNER DUMP OUT THE TRASH CANS INTO THE WATER !!!!!!THE OWNER WAS THE RUDEST, MOST UNPROFESSIONAL PERSON THAT I HAD EVER MET!!!!! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FISHING LICENSE!x!x!!STAY AWAY! Pros: NOTHING Cons: RUDE, NASTY, UNPLEASENT, AND NOT WORTH IT! more

Where do I start. The bathroom/outhouse has black mold and the stench would gag a maggot. If you go bring your own toilet paper and gas mask. The owners are rude and disrespectful. May have big catfish but not worth the health risk. Do Not Recommend, NEGATIVE FIVE STARS Pros: You can leave at anytime Cons: Too many to list. Owners are rude, bathrooms hidious, ect.... more
