    Joined friends at their lake house last week. Beautiful views and stunningly gorgeous, clean lake. Such a peaceful little slice of paradise tucked away in the mountains. Definitely scheduling a return trip soon!

    My wife and I had our honeymoon here in oct 2023 and it was some of the most beautiful fall colors either of us had ever seen it was so worth it!

    Very nice lake access location for boats and canoes. A beautiful lake that can be leisurely explored in 1-1/2 hours via pontoon boat. Not crowded and fairly calm.

    One of the most pristine lakes around at over 3000ft in elevation. I love the solitude that can be found up here with little to no people.
