This is a great park. It's what turns me off from this park. Great for a gathering outdoors perhaps a 3 stars. Bathrooms a neg 10 stars for the foul smell and no way to get ahold of the current park ranger

It's great! On boat and shore

Why is it so hard to find a map with the picnic & reserved shelter's on it on Google maps for Easter lake Park. & This last Sunday was the grand opening of the park 6/23/19 Sunday & it was crowded especially by the beach area.

How deep in the middle?

Brandon Keller | Oct 17, 2017
caleb krumel | Oct 17, 2018

Last time it was dredged it was 30ft. Befor that you could walk across it. Currently (April 2018) it is drained dry to remove silt and renovate it and should be 30ft after it is done.
