Customer Reviews
Super nice area to swim, surprising the water wasn't cold. Kind of warm actually which is surprising for it being out in the wilderness. Clean water. Very gorgeous area
It would have been so day use it has more shade areas
Looks like all the picnic tables are fairly close to the lake. They have nice views and there is a paved trail to the lake.
Wish they had flushing toilets. Great place overall.
A great getaway! Beautiful mountains, trees and a sparkling reservoir with clear water. There is a hiking trail around the entire reservoir and part of it is paved. Great for kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming. We had a great day and will return again soon.
Great for day time trips and getting out and relaxing by the lake
A wonderful place for paddleboarding — a very clean and beautiful lake, with parking, restrooms, and amazing nature. I love this place 🫶
