There are a few sections that are rocky but avoidable. There is a huge rock formation in the middle of the lake that is well out of the water. There are some submerged rocks around there.
We had a car topper but there are plenty of bass boats and rec boats on the lake.
Some good fish in there too, both smallmouth and large

I live right down the road from that lake. Personally I hate fishing it because there's very very limited shore access and I don't have a boat that can deal with the drunk dad's driving their pontoons all over the place trying to impress their wives and 10 year old kids making crazy wakes.
However it has a really solid bass population. I've caught several 3 or 4 pounders out of it.
If you're looking for boat access: off of Hayward street in Hopkinton there's a parking lot with a paved ramp for trailers or canoes. Plenty of parking.
cartoppers can load off on West Main street in Hopkinton. There's a little dirt road on the lake side of the street. It's a crappy boat landing but I've used it.
Wacky worms seem to really do a number on the fish here for some reason. I've seen 10 year old kids fishing off a dock using a wacky worm catch 3 or 4 fish.

I forgot to mention this - stay away from the damn on the south end of the lake. It's total garbage for fishing. I've spent well over 12 hours fishing there, using every type of bait, lure, and rig possible and have only caught sunfish.
If you're into catfish there's White Catfish in a high abundance. Buddy of mine caught a 6 pounder using a hot dog.

Most of my fishing there has been done from shore at the little dirt lot launch on W Main st, and I've caught plenty of bass from there. There is a weed line about 100' (or less) straight out from shore, and a ton of them sit there. There is also a Northern Pike that resides in the area as well, if you're on land, a bit out and to your right.
