Great place to camp or to spend a day at the lake. Only downside was that there was hardly any shade, good thing we brought our own canopies. Bathrooms and showers available

Scorching trails 👣 ❤️‍🔥 Usually I don't mind but it's open, no trees to provide shade. Just come prepared. Was only able to walk 2 miles upward and called it a day.. afterwards, made my way to, "Swim Beach" ⛱️ *Very Attentive Lifeguards! The water 💧 felt AMAZING 👏 😍 Come without expectations. Bring a towel, water, and an extra pair of clothes! *Dogs are allowed as long as they're on a leash and Bike trails are available! *Maintain it clean, God bless 🙌 ❤️‍🔥🏜🔥💧

The area was cool, lots of parking, people were nice and it was super cool seeing all the ducks!! We BBQ and had a great time. Excited to go back when in the area. It was clean too! Meaning we didn't see tons of trash flying around. Our family had fun!

Nice size lake I've never gone during the week, and it's so much nicer. The weekends can get a bit nuts. You can bring the family to swim and bbq. I believe I paid 12 dollars for 1 vehicle.

Alex B | Aug 22, 2019

I couldn't find any regulation that prohibits houseboats. But keep in mind that all boats must be out of the water by a certain time each day ( usually 30 min before dark) ....if you plan on launching and retrieving it same day it shouldn't be a problem just make sure it is 100% dry (no wet ropes, bilge is totally dry and any other compartments or else you won't pass the inspection at the gate) . Hope this helps you out with your inquiry
