    Beautiful place to kick back and relax. We had a small picnic, family went fishing on shore and on the boat. The water was kinda cold but my puppy loved it. There are weird toilets here and it's not clean at all. Smells really bad.

    Love this lake! Small but always fun. My kids love it and it’s a great atmosphere for families. Parking can be a challenge when busy. The bathrooms need major updates and can use little more cleaning but this also goes to the people that go there they need to be better especially when having bbq or just snacking clean up after yourself
