  • Lots to do, fish, water ski, swim. Lots of little areas with rope swings and fun. Always enjoy the sand bar with friends on weekends in the summer

  • Awesome place to go hiking. It’s about 6 miles and takes about 3.5 hours to complete. Be aware of the blue paint marks on the trees. They’re a little faded.
  • Clean and beautiful lake, ideal for swimming, canoeing/kayaking, boating, tubing, waterskiing, wake-boarding etc
