Lots of cabin rentals in the area....but, they book way in advance! CALL AHEAD! Also, helicopter rides over the lake are an awesome way to see the fall foliage, etc. Beautiful.

I absolutely love this lake !! It’s beautiful and clear ! I hope to return this summer to enjoy it with my girls. We’ve made this trip twice so far from Waco, Texas and this Christmas we will be back to stay in a bigger cabin on the lake! Can’t wait !!

It’s really pretty out there. I went camping on Labor Day. It’s kind of hilly so it can be difficult to find a level spot for your tent in most areas. For food I recommend going to the eat out in Hochatown nearby the lake.
