I almost gave this a bad rating only because it is such an amazing place to visit, however I did not give it a bad rating because actually a hidden gem. It's secluded and quiet. Beautiful lake and trails with a dock. Well kept. Clean bathrooms. Not too busy. Hours are from sun up to sun down.

This is one of our favorite short hike spots. The views are awesome. The facilities are clean and covered (shaded) picnic spots on the trail. Bird watching is spectacular!
