Reviews
- ★★★★★over 1 year agoThe lake looks kind of like a dragon. It's also fun to camp and swim. There's also little cliffs to dive into the water on. And, since the lake is so large, it's never crowded.
- ★★★★★about 3 years agoWow!! Some friends came here and told us how awesome it was and that we needed to check it out. It far exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back! The cliffs you can jump off are amazing and it's the most beautiful tranquil lake ever!
- ★★★★★over 6 years agoLoved our vacation here. Good fishing. Nice lake to tool around in a boat. Lots of marinas (we used Fairfield Bay Marina and loved it.) The shoreline is wooded and pretty. There is an island in the middle that you can access by canoe or ferry. Water was very clean. Very enjoyable.
