This lake is extremely beautiful in its own little way. There’s more than one shore where you can have a little picnic and fish with family and friends along with many other activities. I called yesterday to ask some questions to prepare for my visit and I was helped by David. He was very informative and thorough. Today I was at the lake and I couldn’t quite find an access way to a part of the lake and once again David was very helpful and informative. I got here without a problem and I can’t even explain how beautiful it is here. He definitely deserves a raise! Clean bathrooms and many hiking trails here. Not to mention I’m an animal person and this cute little duck came and greeted me and will not leave my side 💕10/10!

If you live in the surrounding area, I definitely recommend this park. They have friendly staff. Nice and Cool for all three seasons. 12 dollars for an entrance and if a senior is sitting inside your car is $5 for only one car.

The fishing has been improving. Bass and bluegill have been biting from shore and from boats. Catfish are always biting with the right bait. They seem to like carne asada.

Can you take rubber rafts in the lake and paddle around with life jacket of course

Chet Nighman | Aug 31, 2021
J Dove | Aug 31, 2021

I believe so. I accidentally pulled into the boat launch parking lot one day. The yoing lady at the booth asked if I had an inflatable since there was no boat in tow. When I told her no, she told me I cannot park there. That would suggest to me that inflatables are allowed. Hope that anecdotal evidence helps. Lol.
