Lots to do, fish, water ski, swim. Lots of little areas with rope swings and fun. Always enjoy the sand bar with friends on weekends in the summer

Awesome place to go hiking. It’s about 6 miles and takes about 3.5 hours to complete. Be aware of the blue paint marks on the trees. They’re a little faded.
-
Clean and beautiful lake, ideal for swimming, canoeing/kayaking, boating, tubing, waterskiing, wake-boarding etc
-
Not an easy walk. It’s a hike. And it’s not a leveled path, contrary to what someone posted. Steep inclines and declines. Not suited for beginners or small children. Witnessed a mother struggling to walk with her children.
-
Great 6.5mi hike which is pretty close to home. Trail is fairly well marked. I will be back to trail run it.
-
If water is what you're after, this lake has plenty.
