The water is super dark and smelly if u look at my first pic. my daughter wearing pink and a NEW WHITE tank top it was new. By the last picture I shared u can see it turned greenish gray. By the time we were leaving we smelt like sewer. 🤮🤢😡

Such a great spot so close to the city! We rented a boat, went swimming, and cruised around the lake. The beaches you can access from the parking lot were very crowded, but if you get a boat and cruise around, you can find plenty of spots to anchor and have your own private beach area!
