Boater Reviews
Great place to launch a boat, couple ramps. Nearby fishing area and swim area with changing rooms but no showers. Bathrooms are no flush pits so keep off your phone while you're on the throne. No lifeguards, swim at your own risk. Swim area is full of tree logs and a couple rocks. I wear swim shoes just to make sure my feet aren't cut.
Love this facility! They did such a good job with both the lake area and the playground. Even the picnic area is in pavilions are really well thought out. Love love, love love the umbrellas on the weekends. Such a nice touch! Thank you to the staff!
