    This is a wonderful, quiet, and laid back kind of lake but.... it's still awesome, beautiful, and FUN lake. Not to excessive but worth every penny you spend..play ground..food and drinks..gift-shop..lake..boats and kyaks...swimming.. paddle boats... Beautiful restaurant so much fun for the family. Now if that's too much for your taste you can always just drive through and go the scenic route and enjoy the peacefulness that the lake and the history of the lake have to offer. Either are great choices. Have a blast!!!!
