Spillway was open and the mist was great at the bottom. Pretty scenic place! Good way to kill a little time and cool off during the heat
Jennifer Thompson
A lovely place to stop and see the lake and dam. Benches, clean public toilets and lots of informational boards made it interesting.

View was amazing! Worth visiting. November with 80° weather was perfect day!

Really cool view of the beaver park dam that you can watch them let run off shoot out into the white river from this vantage point. There are public restrooms, some informative panels on the creation of the dam and some small trails in the area as well. Really neat spot to come and check out

The guy running the kiosk at the island was kind of a power trip tried to act like sheriff or something 😂 if your not paying or camping acted like he owned the lake but other than that it was a good experience and wonderful place to hangout it does cost 5 bucks to park for the day and hangout but we had a fun day and we'll worth it !
