A hidden treasure! Many people drive on by without even knowing it here. This one of our favorite places to go! Grab some food, bring it out and have a great picnic! They also have shelter you can reserve for groups!

Very nice place to enjoy a picnic and place for kids to play on the playground or go swimming in the lake. There also are restrooms open during the summer season.

As always the lake is lovely. but I will say this the spot where you can go to grill out.where there's a playground for little kids the grills there are in need of work. The spot where you lay your charcoal is completely been worn out and falling out in spots makes for a dangerous hazard if kids and adults walking by don't pay attention. Also it's hard to cook when there's very little left of the bottom of the grill. 09/18/22
