Beautiful lake, nice swimming beach with a life guard. They have pick neck tables and grills. The view from the fire tower is great, and I would love to see it in the fall.

Was my first time here. Not sure on the price to get in. If your over 65 yrs old you get in for FREE! it was a small beach but nice because it can only get "so busyy" . There's a boat ramp. No motor boats tho. There's a fishing spot too. There's also a camping area in back- I didn't see so no comments on that. They also have 2 to even 3 life guards on duty. I'd love to go again.

Very nice park. Beautiful pond/lake with beach. Hiked from parking area to fire tower. The trail is well marked with blue marks on trees. The trail is covered with tree roots, so you have to pay attention to where you walk. There is some incline here and there, especially the walk up to the fire tower. You can also drive up to the fire tower.

I was there camping twice. Not terribly private and you can hear everything. But the sites are very nicely kept. The bathrooms are very clean. The views of the lake are great; swimming and kayaking seem to be a great choice. Lots of hiking trails. They even have an accessible trail.
