Great place for a swim as the water is surprisingly on moderate level of warmth and coldness. We didn't explored the whole lake but there's a lot of parked boats / jet skis etc., near the area that we picked so it's a bummer for those who wanted to have more space for paddle boarding and kayaking near the swimming area. Parking fee was hell!! $37.75 for just 6hrs. It's a busy place since the water and adventure park are also near to the lake park. If you decide to go there, I suggest going early in the morning to have a good parking and picnic spot. We left around 4 in the afternoon and the place were already crowded, lots of car waiting in the parking area. The traffic were also bad if you're going on the afternoon. The restroom doesn't have any showers, don't expect it to be clean. The have a separate changing rooms but also not clean. 😮💨

The park includes a lakefront, waterfront walkway, picnic tables, playground, boat launch, kayak rentals, concession, residential community, and of course the lake itself for swimming. The biggest downside is the parking fees. During the summer months it is $7 for the first hour and then $6 for each additional hours. I noticed many visitors don't stay that long and parking is plentiful. The parking fees applies to all parking lots for the park. Parking is not allowed for visitors on residential streets. Beware on windy days that tree leaves will fall so if barbequing, bring an umbrella or go to a spot away from trees. There is a nice forested trail south of the community school.
