    This was disgusting. I think they may have the water lowered for some reason. Trash, branches and even a dead deer floating in the water.

    Beautiful lake with boat ramp and picnic facilities. Visited labor day and only 3 boats on the lake. Perfect private boating opportunity.

    Beautiful lake with great fishing opportunities. Only downside is that it's a flood control lake and the corps of engineers do not keep it cleaned of float debris.

    Peaceful, scenic place to relax and enjoy nature! Several tables, picnic areas, and barbecue grills make a nice family outing. Bathrooms are clean.

    The fish weren't biting but our family of 5 enjoyed time on the water. It was mine and my daughter's first time on a boat and we loved it!!
