It is gorgeous beautiful and clean. they have a beach, public restrooms, hiking trails, pavilions (where you can have cookouts), fishing spots, and more. I can highly recommend this area for family events, dates, and hanging out with friends. They also have boat rentals, and at night when there's a clear sky it's great for astral photography.

First time going here. It was a nice place to Kayak small but quiet. I wish they would actually have bathrooms that are flushable. The smell of the bathrooms were unbearable. They seemed to have quite a few spots to have a picnic. Probably would not be going back anytime soon.

One of my most favorite places to fish. I grew up fishing here since I was a kid. Caught plenty of fish out of here. It does get pretty busy early spring because of trout season. Very well maintained and has a beach for swimming in the summer. Pretty sure they offer kayak and canoe rentals as well.

This is a nice place to chill out with friends and family. I visited the place in late December and had a great time enjoying the scenic beauty around the place. Since it was winter, there were not much activities in the area. I visited the same place 4 weeks later and the lake was complete frozen over. We could walk across the frozen lake all the time wondering if the surface will crack. Very interesting experience. The roads were iced and it was very difficult to drive the vehicle. I think this place is best experienced during summer time.
