Reviews
- ★★★★★over 3 years agoHidden gem among so many lakes in Hancock county. It is a clean, beautiful lake that is great for swimming, fishing, and kayaking.
- ★★★★★over 4 years agoLove it here! Great place for the whole family. Pristine water, plenty of area for all kinds of fun. Exploring the woods, kayaking, boating, and more! I recommend going to check out the island out in the middle, it’s a lot of fun! We’ve been here multiple times and won’t hesitate to come back on another beautiful day!
- ★★★★★over 5 years agoMy sons and I love, love, LOVE this lake! Fantastic views, small beach to park your chair & cooler on, as well as being a great place to swim, fish and kayak/canoe! Has a boat ramp and plenty of parking. Pretty busy on nice days during "tourist season", but very peaceful after around 4PM. The loons come so close and are awesome to watch, kids can catch frogs and small perch or trout. Just an all around amazing place to spend the day 😊
- ★★★★★over 3 years agoGreat place to swim, relax and enjoy wildlife. Saw a pair of Merganser Ducks.
- ★★★★★over 6 years agoThe water is much cleaner here than some of the other local spots (with more camps). The water is also cooler here. This is a perfect beach for kids to play/swim as it is very shallow for quite some time as you are moving away from shore. I think I found my new secret hide away!
