Gorgeous area to explore

Lake Glendale is beautiful! Large shaded secluded spots with lake views are a perfect combination. Clean bathrooms/showers a big plus. Jennifer, the person in charge, was kind and accommodating when we forgot our :America the Beautiful card, waiting to charge us until my son could text us photos of the card and the number. We will be back and are disappointed this place is 6 hours away.

The lake is beautiful. The beach is clean and has a concession stand. The camp sites are nice and surrounded by trees. There is a picnic area and boat launch as well. We used our kayaks several times. There's also a trail all the way around the lake. Great place to walk and bicycle rides.

I agree with T Etherton. And you should definitely camp if at all possible. The campground is a nice little vacation all by itself.

They have a concession stand there. I am almost sure they have a sign that says "no coolers". I take sodas in plastic bottles (in my beach bag).
